This module will examine the history of Palestine and Israel from the nineteenth century until the present. Rather than studying Israeli and Palestinian history in isolation, the module explores the relationship between the two national groups and the emergence of the Israeli state alongside the prolonged statelessness of Palestinians.

Some of the topics we will consider include:

contrasting narratives of Palestinian and Israeli history
 the constituents of identity in late Ottoman Palestine and the formation of Palestinian and Israeli nationalism
 Hebrew culture and the Arab encounter with Zionism
 the impact of the Mandate period
 the Arab revolt of 1936-39
 the 1948 War and the birth of the Palestinian refugee problem
 the political disappearance of the Palestinian question in Israel’s early decades
 the rebuilding of Palestinian identity and institutions
 the fate of the two state solution.
