Abstract
The Palestinian community places Jordan in the unique demographical position of holding a minority stake in citizenship.
In times of unrest the ratio is estimated at 80% Palestinian-Jordanian and 20% Jordanian; in peacetime, this is reduced to 50% for each. Accordingly, the dynamic between the communities is subject to political change, economic climate, the application and abrogation of human rights and the extent of integration achieved.
Approaching from the perspective of political identity, the study differs from alternative publications in the field of Palestinian and Jordanian studies by affording an contemporary, provocative exploration of the legacies of the British Mandate, Jordanian rule and the influence of the multiple aspects of identity on domestic cohesion.
