A conversation with Adel Manna on his book Nakba and Survival:
The Story of Palestinians Who Remained in Haifa and the Galilee, 1948-1956
(University of California Press, 2022)

In Nakba and Survival, Adel Manna tells the story of the Palestinians in Haifa and the Galilee during, and in the decade after, mass dispossession.
Manna uses oral histories, diaries, memoirs, and archival sources to reconstruct the social history of the Palestinians who remained and returned
to become Israeli citizens. Manna shows in his path-breaking book that remaining in Israel in the aftermath of the Nakba under Israeli military
government were acts of resilience in their own right. In conversation with Manna will be Amos Goldberg.

Dr. Adel Manna is a Palestinian historian specializing in history of Palestine during the Ottoman period and Palestine in the 20th century.
He has taught since the early 1980’s at The Hebrew University and Bir Zeit University. Currently, he is a senior research fellow at the Jerusalem
Van Leer Institute.

Prof. Amos Goldberg is the The Jonah M. Machover Chair in Holocaust Studies at the Department of Jewish History and Contemporary Jewry and
the Head of the Avraham Harman Research Institute of Contemporary Jewry, at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
