Memories of Revolt: 1936-1939 Rebellion in the Palestinian Past by Ted Swedenburg

Recently reprinted with a new afterword, Swedenburg's study shows how a major anti-colonial insurrection, the 1936-39 strike and revolt in Palestine is remembered in Palestinian nationalist historiography, Western and Israeli "official" historical discourse, and Palestinian popular memory. Based on oral history interviews, supplemented by archival material and national monuments, Swedenburg shows how the memories of these events live on today. With new afterword by the author.
