Presented here is a studious collection of seventeen papers from the Palestinian and Arab perspective by various contributors.

Presented are the ever-morphing and shrinking areas in which the Palestinians exist throughout the then three plus decades since 1948. Detailed bibliography for reference. The contributors address the impact of Israeli military occupation of the West Bank and their policies designed to annex and absorb this land. The scenario it portrays is complete, factual, analytical with a momentum propelled by the injustice.
