Text of Note

This dissertation uses the police as an institution and British-ruled Palestine as a setting to explore the theory, practice, and experience of British colonial governance. British Mandate authorities drew legislation, strategies, structures, and personnel from Cyprus, Egypt, Ireland, Mesopotamia, and British colonial Africa and South Asia. Meanwhile, the indigenous population of Palestine, as in other colonial settings, engaged, challenged, and reconfigured the institutions and practices of British colonial rule as law-breakers and policemen, witnesses and complainants. Kinship and gender shaped Palestinian Arabs' interactions with the police, including patterns of Palestinian Arab recruitment into police service and ongoing tensions between customary practices of communal dispute resolution and the British Mandate criminal justice system. Quotidian interactions between policemen and Palestinian Arab society also shed light on the counter-insurgency role that has been the focus of most studies of colonial policing (in Palestine and beyond). Identifying "law and order" as a key arena of contestation between the colonial Mandate administration and anti-colonial rebels, this dissertation explores the fluid categories of rebel, bandit, and policeman in order to elucidate internal Palestinian dynamics that produced, sustained, and undermined the widespread 1936-1939 uprising in Palestine, as well as the British counter-insurgency practices implemented to quash it.
