Abstract

Yousef Haikal, a member of one of Jaffa's prominent families, was the town's last elected mayor before the establishment of the State of Israel; "Jaffa as it was" is excerpted from the first volume of Haikal's memoirs, written in Arabic, as he remembers the life of his family and his town under Ottoman rule and then under the British mandate
