who knew him and critical studies of his enduring work. On the 15th
anniversary of his death, Al-Adab offers the first such comprehensive
look at an artist who shaped Arab’s understanding of their world in the
1970s and 80s. Contributions come from 32 writers, artists, and
caricaturists from all over the world: Mureed al-Barghouthi, Faysal
Darraj, Fayez Sarah, Nasser al-Soumi, Khalil Abu `Arafeh, Khalid
Hourani, Sulayman al-Shaykh, Muhammad al-As`ad, Bashir al-Deek, Ahmad
Matar, and George Bahjouri. Accompanying the writings are tens of
cartoons from an opus that was so powerful it provoked its maker’s
assassination. Rare glimpses of Naji al-Ali’s life are provided in a
photo album. Finally, the works of twenty outstanding contemporary
Arab artists and cartoonists show the impact and continued relevance of
Naji al-`Ali’s thought in a “gallery” dedicated to the perpetuation of
his keen spirit.

* File 1 - Secular Democratic State in Mandate Palestine (SDS): As a
scenario for ending the battle for Palestine, few want to discuss it
these days, yet it is one of the oldest and most ethical proposals: a
secular democratic state in Historic Palestine (SDS). In our file, a
coterie of outstanding contributors write the following articles:
1) Salman Abu Sitta, “Return is the Basis for Any Solution”
2) Muhammad Jamal Baroot, “The Arab Problem? in Mandate Palestine”
3) Faysal Darraj, “The Realistic and the Imaginary in SDS.
4) Maher al-Shareef, “The Historical Development of the Two-State
Solution, and the Bi-National State Solution”
5) Ghada al-Karmi, “SDS: An Idea Whose Time has Come?”
6) Amir Makhoul, “Israeli Plans and Palestinian Fracturing of Solutions”
7) Joseph Mas’ad, “Bi-Nationalism and the Reunification of the
Palestinian People”
8) Muhammad Naffa’, “The Biggest Asset”
File 2 - Censorship in Syria: Censorship in the Arab world is a
constant topic of Arab cultural
> discussion. We complain; we condemn. Yet how much do we really
understand about how it works, who is involved, or why it continues
apparently unceasingly? This file is the first in a series of dossiers
that will look at the intricacies of censorship and cultural production
in one Arab state, Syria, and it will be followed by files on
censorship in other Arab countries (Egypt, Morocco, Jordan,...) The
detailed documentation and wealth of personal testimony (73 pages) are
absolutely unprecedented for Arab politico-cultural production. Here's
to hoping this issue reaches you!

1) Hassan ?Abbas, “Press and Censorship in Syria”
2) Fadel al-Kawakibi, “Censorship in Syrian Cinema and TV Serials”
