Lili's Annotated Bibliography
BBC News. "Maps of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict." BBC News. BBC, n.d. Web. 4 Apr. 2016. This source shows the progression of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through a series of maps and short descriptions. This source will be helpful to my research because it will provide me with possible visual aids so I can better explain the conflict and how this conflict relates to Return to Haifa.
Capa, Robert. Horse Drawn Wagon amidst the Rubble, Warsaw. Digital image. International Center of Photography. Cornell Capa, 1992. Web. 30 Mar. 2016. This image will represent my plot point for Miriam Kushen's hometown of Warsaw before her immigration to Haifa. I selected this particular image because it shows the ruins of Warsaw, which helps to illustrate why Miriam was forced to
relocate with her husband, Evrat.
"The Creation of Israel and the Reconfigured Middle East, 1945–1949." World History Encyclopedia. Ed. Alfred J. Andrea and Carolyn Neel. Vol. 19: Era 9: Promises and Paradoxes, 1945-Present. Santa Barbara, CA: ABC-CLIO, 2011. 351-53. Gale Virtual Reference Library. Web. 4 Apr. 2016.This source provides information about the creation of Israel. This will help me to better illustrate the story of Miriam and Evrat's immigration to Haifa as well as Said and Safiya's removal from Haifa. I found this source through the UT library while searching through the online catalog.
Fanack. "The Exodus from Palestine." Fanack Chronicle. Fanack, 24 Sept. 2010. Web. 03 Apr. 2016. This source provides information on the Palestinian exodus from Palestine. It has a number of charts and graphs that will be useful to illustrate the Palestinian exodus in my project. I found this source while looking for charts and statistics about the Palestinian exodus on google.
Freed, Leonard. Christians Return at the Mandelbaum Gate in No Man's Land. Digital image. Magnum Photos. Magnum Photos, n.d. Web. 30 Mar. 2016. This photograph will represent a plot point at Haifa for when Said and Safiya return. Though the Mandelbaum Gate was no longer operational on their return to Haifa from Ramallah, it is still an important checkpoint and symbol of the changes after the Six Day War.
Karsh, E. "Nakbat Haifa: Collapse and Dispersion of a Major Palestinian Community." Middle Eastern Studies 37.4 (2001): 25-70. Taylor & Francis Online. Web. 3 Apr. 2016. This source provides a lot of information on the movement of the Palestinian community out of Haifa in 1948. It includes many detailed statistics about this movement and about Haifa itself (before and after the events of 1948) that I think will be helpful for my map. I found this source through the UT library by searching through the catalog online.
Mucha, Stainslaw. The Gate in Birkenau. Digital image. Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum. Państwowe Muzeum Auschwitz-Birkenau, n.d. Web. 30 Mar. 2016. I chose this image to represent my plot point for Auschwitz in the path of Miriam and her husband. I believe it's important to include this image because it shows what Miriam and Evrat were fleeing when they left Poland on their journey towards Haifa.
Wolf, Albert B. "The Arab Street: Effects of the Six-Day War." Middle East Policy 22 (2015): 156-67. Wiley Online Library. Web. 3 Mar. 2016. This article is all about the effects of the Six-Day War and the policies of the leaders that contributed to the war. This information will be helpful to me because it will expand my knowledge of the Six-Day war which is such an important part of Return to Haifa. I found this source through the UT library by searching through the catalog online.
Ziv, Oren. A mural in the West Bank city of Ramallah depicts Palestinian refugees’ generations-long struggle to return to the homes lost in 1948. Digital image. Aljazeera America. Activestills, 15 May 2014. Web. 30 Mar. 2016. I chose this image to represent my plot point at Ramallah, where Said and Safiya relocate to after being expelled from Haifa. I think this image is useful for my project because as well as being taken in Ramallah, it expresses the Palestinian's wish to return to their homes, just like Said and Safiya.
