Palestine in the Age of Empire, 1600-1923

Description

Organised by Professor James Renton. The conference marks the 25th anniversary of the publication of Rashid Khalidi’s seminal book, Palestinian Identity: The Construction of Modern National Consciousness. Khalidi presented a new way for us to think about the history of being and feeling Palestinian; at one and the same time, he demonstrated the fact of Palestinian national identity in the early 20th century, and its contingent complexity, a tension that is apparent in national communities around the globe.

‘Palestine in the Age of Empire’ gathers world-leading scholars of nationalism and identity to engage with a number of themes that Khalidi has addressed in his career: Britain and Palestine; Palestinian identity; Jewish nationalism; and the trajectory of Palestine Studies.

This is the 4th event in our series on the history of Palestine.
