Nakba and Survival: The Story of Palestinians Who Remained in Haifa and the Galilee, 1948–1956

Book by Adel Manna documents the experience of Palestinians who remained inside Israel's 1948 borders after the Nakba, the roughly 160,000 who were not expelled, examining how they survived, organized, and negotiated their precarious existence under Israeli military government in Haifa and the Galilee. Manna draws on newly available archives and oral histories to trace a decade of military rule. An important corrective to histories focusing solely on the refugee diaspora. Recommended for researchers working on Palestinian citizens of Israel, the history of Israeli military government over its Arab minority, and the experience of Palestinians who were not expelled in 1948 but remained under Israeli military rule.
