Jewish Peoplehood to Sovereignty, Through 1949 — After identity formation as a nation and Jewish training for state building, how did the Zionists link people to the land and carry out immigration and land purchase? What advantages did the Zionists have in working with the British? How did Middle Eastern political culture shape Zionism’s engagements with the Arabs? Unfolding the socio-economic differences between Arabs and Jews in Palestine startlingly reveals advantages to Jewish state builders. What were they? What are the 10 reasons why the Zionists succeeded and the Arabs failed to stymie a Jewish state? What unfolded in the critical 1945-1949 period?
This is Part 1 of CIE’s three-part series “Politics and History of Israel: From Jewish Peoplehood to Israel in 2048.” The Atlanta community is invited to register, enroll, and support this three-part series by Ken Stein, one of the world’s leading experts on the modern Middle East and Israel. Preregistration with a fee is required. Logistics and location will be provided days before the sessions.
Stein, an Emory University Emeritus Professor of Middle Eastern History, Political Science, and Israel Studies and the President of the Center for Israel Education, taught at Emory for 47 years and became one of the school’s best undergraduate teachers and mentors. In leading the Center for Israel Education, he is committed to teaching Israel’s story globally. The Center has reached some 7 million users since it began its work in 2008 of enriching knowledge of Israel across the world.
The $180 fee covers all three sessions, including materials, and a portion of the fee may be tax-deductible as a donation to CIE.
