"Juliane Hammer has written an excellent book that captures the Palestinian experience of exile, life in the Diaspora, and return to Palestine." —Philip Mattar, United States Institute for Peace, editor of Encyclopedia of the Modern Middle East and North Africa "Juliane Hammer's book is a welcome addition to the relatively meager literature on Palestinians who were born in exile and "returned" to Palestine...." —Journal of Palestine Studies In the decade following the 1993 Oslo Peace Accords, some 100,000 diasporic Palestinians returned to the West Bank and Gaza. Among them were children and young adults who were born in exile and whose sense of Palestinian identity was shaped not by lived experience but rather through the transmission and re-creation of memories, images, and history. As a result, "returning" to the homeland that had never actually been their home presented challenges and disappointments for these young Palestinians, who found their lifeways and values sometimes at odds with those of their new neighbors in the West Bank and Gaza. This original ethnography records the experiences of Palestinians born in exile who have emigrated to the Palestinian homeland. Juliane Hammer interviews young adults between the ages of 16 and 35 to learn how their Palestinian identity has been affected by living in various Arab countries or the United States and then moving to the West Bank and Gaza. Their responses underscore how much the experience of living outside of Palestine has become integral to the Palestinian national character, even as Palestinians maintain an overwhelming sense of belonging to one another as a people. :هنرور فلسظینیان زاده در غربت کتابی ارزشمند از یولیانه هامر می باشد که به سال 2005 از سوی انتشارات دانشگاه تگزاس می باشد. ایشان به عنوان استادیار دانشگاه جرج مسون در رشته ی پژوهش های اسلامی در دانشکده ی علوم انسانی و مطالعات اجتماعی فعالیت آکادمیک خود را کاملا بر فلسطین و مشکلات مردم آن و آسیب شناسی اجتماعی و روان شناسی جمعی آن متمرکز نموده است و متاسفانه در ایران شناخته شده نیست. دوست داشتم این کتاب ارزشمند ترجمه می شد و فارسی زبانان نیز از آن استفاده می نمودند. متن کامل کتاب را در اینجا ملاحظه بفرمایید برخی نقد ها و نظرها را ذیلا می یابید: Reviews (5) About this book. با نهایت سپاس از مولف محترم در ادامه برخی مقالات دیگر ایشان را به انتخاب خودم قرار داده ام... . .. برخی مقالات دیگر ایشان “Performing Gender Justice: The 2005 Woman-Led Prayer in New York” Contemporary Islam, special issue on Muslims and Media 4:1 (April 2010): 91-116 On March 18, 2005, a group of American Muslim women and men participated in a Friday prayer led by Dr. Amina Wadud, who also gave the Friday sermon. Widely publicized in various media and debated among Muslims around the world, this event was hailed as a turning point in Muslim gender discourses by the organizers and many media representatives. This article describes the prayer as a performance and argues that the organizers, participants and media representatives all participated in the production of meaning embodied by the prayer. According to the organizers, the achievement of Qur’anic gender justice required changes in Muslim communities and various forms of media were of vital importance for the discussion and realization of this goal. As such, the prayer was an act of symbolic significance, which despite its discursive, spatial and temporal limitations, became much more than an act of Islamic worship.
