"close-up" view; looking at the military, administrative and logistical
organisation of the revolt, its tactics and battles, successes and failures. It
also discusses the role of the peasants in the revolt, their motivations,
social structure, political interrelations, alliances and forms of
mobilisation.
For this purpose the accounts and recollections of some of the
rebels were used in most sections of this research. The oral accounts of
these rebels and peasants reveal that their role in the revolt was more
important and significant than has been indicated previously. The oral
accounts also give a more detailed picture of some of the events, and
provide a "close-up" look at the revolt from the inside. Archival material
has been used in this research to a much lesser extent, mainly because
many studies have been made and published which depended on archival
material, and because it is hoped that this research would be telling the
inside untold stories of the period depending on the oral recollections.
The First chapter, discusses the impact of the Zionist settler
colonisation on Palestine in the twenty years prior to the revolt,
concentrating on the economic effects of the infra-structural
development of the Jewish state. It will be shown that the influx of
Jewish immigration into the country disrupted the balance of
demographic growth; that the Jewish purchase of agricultural land crated
a large number of landless Arab peasants, and that the growth of Jewish
industry posed a serious threat to the indigenous Arab industry, thus
seriously threatening the Palestinian Arab economy and helping to fuel
the Palestinian Arab revolt.
The Second chapter deals with the emergence of the Palestinian
national movement, led by families of urban notables. The rivalry and
competition between these families for political and social power will be
discussed. This led to the emergence of a faction strongly opposed to
partition plan of 1937 and the establishment of a Zionist state; and a rival
