Ebook: The Crime of nationalism: Britain, Palestine, and nation-building on the fringe of empire

The Palestinian national movement gestated in the early decades of the twentieth century, but it was born in the Great Revolt of 1936-39, a period of sustained Arab protest against British policy in Palestine. In this book, Matthew Kraig Kelly makes the novel case that the key to understanding the rebellion lies in the 'crimino-national' domain - a hitherto neglected area of overlap between criminological and nationalist discourses, and the primary terrain upon which the war of 1936-39 was fought.
