New Directions in Palestinian Studies book series, the first of its kind in the United States, solicits rigorous and innovative manuscripts that put Palestinians at the center of knowledge production projects. It accepts proposals from all disciplines in the humanities and the interpretive social sciences, and seeks to make a contribution to decolonizing and globalizing knowledge production about the Palestinians, regardless of geographical location. The series is published through the University of California Press’s open access platform, Luminos. Subject to the same high standards for selection, peer review, production and marketing, books in the series are available as free e-books as well as an affordable paperback edition.
