Refugees of the Revolution: Experiences of Palestinian Exile
Diana Allen
http://www.combinedacademic.co.uk/refugees-of-the-revolution
Shortlisted for the Middle East Monitor (MEMO) Palestinian Book Award 2014
"This beautifully written ethnography provides a powerful account of the Palestinian refugee experience in Lebanon. Basing her analysis in the complexities of refugee lives, rather than on received frameworks, Diana Allan has produced a work whose ethnographic richness is matched by its theoretical acumen. Refugees of the Revolution should be read by anyone interested in structural poverty or long-term displacement." - Ilana Feldman, George Washington University
"With intelligence and compassion, Diana Allan has captured the experience of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon today. An outstanding book, and an important reminder that there can be no just settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict that overlooks the rights of refugees." - Eugene Rogan, author of The Arabs: A History
Refugees of the Revolution is an evocative and provocative examination of everyday life in Shatila, a refugee camp in Beirut. Challenging common assumptions about Palestinian identity and nationalist politics, Diana Allan provides an immersive account of camp experience, of communal and economic life as well as inner lives, tracking how residents relate across generations, cope with poverty and marginalization, and plan - pragmatically and speculatively - for the future. She gives unprecedented attention to credit associations, debt relations, electricity bartering, emigration networks, and NGO provisions, arguing that a distinct Palestinian identity is being forged in the crucible of local pressures.

The Rise and Fall of Human Rights
Cynicism and Politics in Occupied Palestine
Lori Allen
http://www.combinedacademic.co.uk/the-rise-and-fall-of-human-rights
Shortlisted for the Middle East Monitor (MEMO) Palestinian Book Award 2013
"This powerfully argued book provides a welcome perspective on the 'human rights industry' in occupied Palestine. It constitutes a valuable contribution to the study both of a key example of the global discourse of human rights, and of the worsening situation of the Palestinians after nearly two decades of dual control by Israel and the Palestinian Authority." - Rashid Khalidi, Columbia University
"Lori Allen offers a powerful and unsparing analysis of the fragmented human rights world in the West Bank and Gaza, arguing that human rights work can only promote social justice when it is situated within, and informed by, a broader political vision and national project - something that still eludes Palestinians. Her critique contains within it a vision of the future where social change is indeed possible and where Palestinians and the state that has yet to represent them find common cause." - Sara Roy, Center for Middle Eastern Studies, Harvard University
