Adalah’s Review, Volume I, Fall 1999 – Politics, Identity and
Law
Adalah published the first volume of its new journal,
entitled Adalah's Review, in
December of 1999. Adalah's Review is intended to open a critical
stage for discussion of Israeli law, the legal system and legal discourse,
specifically focusing on subjects that relate to the status of the Palestinian
minority in Israel. The journal is published in Arabic, Hebrew and English. The
English edition, which contains slightly differing content, is also meant to
provide general background to some of the debates taking place - legally,
politically and socially - between the Palestinian minority and the Israeli
Jewish state, and to introduce Adalah's work to the broader international
community.
The first
volume of Adalah's
Review attempts to open a
multi-disciplinary, multi-layered discussion about politics, law and identity,
with most authors addressing the politics of Arab Palestinian identity in the
Israeli legal area.
The Table of
Contents for the English edition is as follows:
