Abstract

"Palestinians in Jordan: The Politics of Identity." Luisa Gandolfo. I.B. Tauris. July 2012. --- 60 per cent of Jordanians are of Palestinian origin, a statistic which has propelled Jordan into the role of both player and pawn in regional issues. Exploring Jordan’s diverse Palestinian communities, Luisa Gandolfo seeks to illustrate how the Palestinian majority has been subject to discrimination, all the while also playing a defining role in shaping Jordanian politics, legal frameworks and national identity. Kally Zarali finds that this is a valuable resource for students and researchers in the fields of the Middle East, identity, politics and gender studies.
