The time of monsters is liminal, a time of chaos. In Palestine/Israel, the old world of steady but slow dispossession and unshakeable oppression, locked in an iron grid of international constraints and local stalemate, is dead. While we cannot see the new world yet, it is evident that the inseparability of Palestinian and Israeli existence, which is the intellectual raison d’être of this journal, is gaining now its most macabre expression, when anxiety over being annihilated by the other side eclipses the possibility of imagining a common future.
Yeah, the timing of this journal is grotesque. The world is in a different place now.
Palestine/Israel publishes studies in the humanities and the social sciences that emphasize the social, cultural, economic, and political dynamics between the Arab and Jewish communities in Palestine/Israel from the nineteenth century until the present.
