Abstract

This special issue presents articles on the topic of the politics of representation of the Naqab Bedouin both historically in the Ottoman and British periods, as well as in Israel today. The Naqab Bedouin number today approximately 200,000 Palestinian Arab citizens of Israel (Abu-Saad 2010), most of whom live in the Northern Naqab region of Israel. Their struggle against the Israeli government's ongoing attempts, policies and plans forcefully to displace them from their ancestral lands, villages and homes has over the last decade received increased international attention, particularly after the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in 2007 and rising NGO, solidarity and advocacy activism against the Prawer Plan from 2011onwards.
