New Directions in Palestinian Studies

MISSION
This series seeks book proposals that center Palestinians in the framing of new research questions and lines of inquiry. Works that attend, through Palestinian-generated sources, to the diversity and contradictions of internal Palestinian life regardless of geography, are most welcome. We also welcome works that exceed or suggest alternatives to the dominant national, settler-colonial and relational paradigms, and that integrate global and comparative perspectives. The series editors are open to a wide range of disciplinary approaches including, but not limited to, the fields of history, anthropology, literature, political economy, sociology, religious studies, international relations, post-colonial studies, environmental studies, visual culture, and media studies. Books in the series will be made available as free e-books as well as an affordable print-on-demand paperback edition.

ABOUT THE SERIES 
New Directions in Palestinian Studies is published through UC Press’s open access platform, Luminos, in conjunction with the New Directions in Palestinian Studies (NDPS) research initiative of Brown University’s Center for Middle East Studies. Launched in 2012 by Beshara Doumani, NDPS cultivates an international network of scholars with a focus on emerging talent. In addition to this book series, NDPS organizes annual thematic workshops, offers an endowed post-doctoral fellowship, and hosts the Mahmoud Darwish Chair in Palestinian Studies.
