  • HIST 3390: Israel/Palestine

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    This course is an introduction to the history of Israel/Palestine from the 19th until the early 21st century. We trace the development of relationships between various actors, societies, state, and non-state entities. We assess the histories of nationalisms, colonialisms, war and violence, alongside the histories of ideologies, necessity, peace and diplomacy. The history of Palestine/Israel is an entangled one, though entanglement does not mean equal standing. As such, we follow power disparities and find curious poles, and even curiouser bedfellows. We ask questions of a political, religious, cultural, intellectual, environmental, economic, and diplomatic nature. This course takes both a chronological and thematic approach as an introduction to major events and actors of this history.
