Abstract

The declassification of Israel's official archives in the mid-1980s opened access to a vast volume of secret documents relating to the founding of the State of Israel in 1948. If until then the political narrative had been officially justified by the achievements of Zionism, the New Historians articulated a novel civic perspective. The New Historians (Shlaim, Pappé, Morris) succeeded in defining a new language based on the category of settler colonialism and conciliatory dialogue with the Palestinian intellectual resistance represented by Edward Said, Khalidi, Abunimah, Barghouti, and Noura Erakat.
