International Workshop “The Making of the Transnational Complex: European History and Palestine in the 1920s”
| 概要 |
We will hold an international workshop focusing on the 1920s, when armed conflict first emerged in Palestine, and what historical aspects were coming together in Palestine at that time. The main axis of the workshop will be the connection with European history centering on Central and Eastern Europe, but the development of Jewish history in the Arab region will also be an important point of discussion. |
