Palestinian youth at the crossroad: comparative perspectives on Palestinian transnational youth politics

Descripción del proyecto

Análisis comparativo del activismo juvenil transnacional palestino

En el proyecto PYC, financiado con fondos europeos, se aplicarán marcos comparativos intergeneracionales y transnacionales para investigar el potencial político del activismo juvenil palestino en Estados Unidos y Europa. Se proporcionará un mapa exhaustivo de experiencias juveniles y estudiantiles a fin de determinar qué iniciativas están surgiendo y cuál es su capacidad de reestructurar el movimiento nacional palestino. El equipo de PYC analizará la participación política estudiantil al comparar la formación y el desarrollo del Sindicato General de Estudiantes Palestinos durante la «edad de oro» de la revolución palestina (durante los años sesenta y setenta del siglo pasado) con las iniciativas contemporáneas, los esfuerzos y las estrategias de movilización entre jóvenes palestinos de la diáspora.

Objetivo

This research project explores the political potential of contemporary Palestinian transnational youth activism in the United States and Europe. It compares student political engagement namely by examining the formation and development of the General Union of Palestinian Students (GUPS) during what is regarded as the “golden age” of the Palestinian revolution (1960s-1970s) with contemporary initiatives, efforts and strategies of mobilization amongst Palestinian youth in Diaspora. By implementing both cross-generational and transnational comparative frameworks, this project provides a comprehensive mapping of youth and student experiences in the U.S. and Europe in order to evaluate what kind of initiatives are emerging and what capacity they hold in re-structuring the Palestinian national movement. By looking to the past through a historical continuum that has molded present day Palestinian youth activism, this project proposes that new futures can only be made through methodologies that tether together time and space.
How have Palestinian new generations responded to the political transformations that have informed the Palestinian as well as the regional and international scenarios? Is there space for Palestinian youth to contribute to the revitalization of a paralyzed national movement, within a transnational framework able to appreciate the diverse socio-political, economic and cultural backgrounds that characterize contemporary Palestinian society?
This project address these questions by providing a comparative analysis of two different political moments of Palestinian history, the pre-Oslo and the post Oslo periods. This comparison allows the understanding of how youth politics has evolved over time and across space and what mechanisms can or cannot be reproduced within the broader Palestinian political context. In doing so, the study will allow new, empirically-based, deductions on the general state of Palestinian politics and its future perspectives
