Journal Article
Najati Sidqi (1905-79): the enigmatic Jerusalem Bolshevik
2003
Overview
A review essay on a book by Hanna Abu Hanna (Ed), Mudhakkarat Najati Sidqui ([The Memoirs of Najati Sidqi] Beirut: Instit Palestine Studies, 2001). The memoirs give a detailed account of life during the Bolshevik movement in Jerusalem, 1920s-1930s, & provide a valuable record of Syrian & Palestinian politics, as well as an account of how Arab socialists & communists lived in the USSR during the Stalin era. However, the work is faulted for leaving questions unanswered & issues unresolved as if the author feared posthumous disclosure of secrets. Although Abu Hanna is credited with meticulous editing & for providing extensive annotations & a glossary, he is criticized for not clarifying such information in his editing process. Excerpts from the memoirs are included with notes by the editor. I. Sharp
