HIST 494/710: Israel and Palestine in Culture and Conflict 
Professor Noor Zaidi
Wednesdays, 5:30-8 PM (in person)

This course examines the roots, evolution, and debates over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as well as the implications of the conflict throughout the region. The course will begin with the development of the Zionist movement at a time of change in Ottoman Palestine, the various promises and proposals that were made regarding Palestine by European powers, the British Mandate in Palestine, to the birth of Israel in 1948 and the Arab-Israeli wars, and the rise of extremist movements. Through primary sources, films, graphic novels, and literature, we will explore the narratives and cultures of this conflict and ask how people on the ground experience these events and explore how 'history' is written.
