Originally published in English, this translated Arabic edition is published by the Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies. The book presents a thorough analysis of the Israeli policies that were enforced to manage and control the Palestinian population that remained on the lands occupied in 1948 during the military rule period imposed by Israel from the Nakba until 1966. Sa’di chronicles the living conditions of the Palestinians who remained in in the country while tracking the Israeli discourse towards them and outlining how the four years that followed the Nakba were foundational to the formation and establishment of that discourse.
