New Release
Unprotected: Palestinians in Egypt since 1948 By Oroub El Abed, 253 pages "Without a doubt, it is the seminal work on Palestinian refugees in Egypt." - Rex Brynen, professor of political science, McGill University; coordinator of Palestinian ResearchNet The Institute's newest book examines the Palestinian refugee community in Egypt, about which very little has been written. While its primary focus is on coping strategies and life situations, the book also constitutes a broad portrait of this vulnerable and unprotected community, including its history, the evolution of Egypt's Palestine policies, and the regional and international contexts that shaped those policies.
