"Palestinian Identity" book published by Diyar Publisher in 2014, edited by Rev. Dr. Mitri Raheb.
The development of the Palestinian Identity has been the focus of many
studies and conferences. However, all of the studies so far concentrate
on the emergence of this identity in the last hundred years. Although
several papers in this book still have dealt with the development of the
Palestinian Identity in late Ottoman and early British Mandate Palestine,
another focus of the event was however on analyzing the understanding
of the Palestinian Identity in relation to the biblical story, history and
archeology and how this understanding has been reflected in poetry
and the art. The self-Understanding of the Palestinians of themselves in
relation to time and space and their relationship to other marginalized
groups is a question of high political and social relevance.
The participation of scholars from different parts of the world in the
event did not only bring an international scope, persuasions and perspectives,
but helped fostering an ecumenical, interdisciplinary, multi-ethnic
and multi-cultural environ, dialogues and philosophy.
Explore the experiences, and challenges, faced by "Arab Christians in Israel" in this important book, edited by Johnny Mansour and published by Diyar Publisher in the Holy Land of Bethlehem (2012).
