EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken circa 1920s, a group of Natives of Transjordania, now known as the Palestinian people, are gathered together near Jerusalem, Israel. The image captures a moment in history when the region was on the brink of significant change. The natives, dressed in traditional clothing, are a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the area. Some carry rifles, suggesting that they were prepared for whatever challenges lay ahead, while others wield swords, a nod to their historical past. Transjordania, which is now part of modern-day Jordan, was a region of great diversity and complexity. It was home to various indigenous peoples, each with their unique customs and traditions. The population was predominantly Arab, with significant numbers of Circassians, Chechens, and other ethnic groups. The photograph was taken during a time of political upheaval in the Middle East. The Ottoman Empire, which had ruled the region for centuries, was crumbling, and new nationalist movements were emerging. The Zionist movement, which aimed to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine, was gaining momentum, leading to increasing tensions between Jews and Arabs. Despite the challenges, the Natives of Transjordania continued to hold onto their traditions and way of life. This photograph offers a glimpse into their world, a world that was soon to be transformed by the forces of history. Today, the image serves as a reminder of the complex history of the region and the resilience of its people. The photograph is a valuable historical document, capturing a moment in time that is often overlooked in the dominant narratives of Middle Eastern history. It invites us to reflect on the rich cultural heritage of the region and the complexities of its past.
