Decolonising the Social History of Rural Palestinian Women: The Economic Activity of Rural Women in Galilee during the British Mandate

Rawda Makhoul

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Writing about the economic role of Palestinian rural women during the British Mandate resembles trying to see through an opaque screen of piled-up history volumes, in Arabic, Hebrew, English, or other European languages, all describing the major historic events of Ottoman and Mandatory Palestine. Through this curtain, you hear the roar of marching armies, the rhetorical speeches of the male leaders of the Arab Higher Committee, the clacking boots of the male revolutionaries on the hills of the Galilee, or the folkloric chanting of the fellaheen. But where are the fellahat?
