First, I wanted to examine individual Palestinian views to compare them with what the Palestinian leadership states in representing them. Also, I wanted to discover how the Palestinians outside of the Occupied Territories feel about a Palestinian nation its leadership, and the leadership's goals. Second, I wanted to learn about the socialization and politicalization process of Palestinians because most Palestinians under thirty living in Diaspora have never seen Palestine let alone lived there. I was interested in how these young Palestinians have come to relate so strongly to a land they have never seen and how Palestinian history is passed on to them. Third, I want to examine two statements I have repeatedly seen in scholarly wrks on Palestinians: 1) That education is extremely important to the Palestinians because it helps them move up the social ladder; and 2) That Palestiniane as a nation did not exist until the expulsion in 1948 and that this expulsion created the Palestinian nation (nation as different from a state which requires territory). Finally, I wanted to find out how Palestinians view themselves in this Diaspora.Publication Perceptions of Women's Opportunities in the FederalRepublic of Gennany and the UnitedKingdom(Department of Sociology, University of Kansas, 1992-04-01) Adler, Marina A.; Brayfield, April A.This study assesses the impact ofsocio-economic status and family life on perceptions of women's opportunities among German and British women and men. Our theoretical framework links national characteristics to individual characteristics and perceptions. We hypothesize that the influence of work-family status on perceptions of women's opportunities varies by gender and country because of crossnational differences in ideology and policy. Separate multiple regression analyses for women and men in eacb country' indicate important variations in the effects of labor force participation. family income, age, and family status on perceptions ofwomen's opportunities for education and employment.Publication Mid-American Review of Sociology, Volume 16, Number 1 (SPRING, 1992): Book Review(Department of Sociology, University of Kansas, 1992-04-01) Kelly, Mary E.
