Translating Late Ottoman Modernity in Palestine

Debates on Ethno-Confessional Relations and Identity in the Arab Palestinian Newspaper 'Filastin' (1911-1914).

Exploring 'Filastin' in the context of Arab Palestinian press development, its specific environment and networks, and the political culture after the Young Turk Revolution, this study analyzes the main concepts and terminological features that are conveyed through ist coverage. Further, it studies Palestinian group relations in the light of three selected case studies: the press debate on 1. the social cohabitation of groups in the Jaffa region, 2. the socio-economic integration of Zionist immigrants into the Jerusalem District, and 3. the political participation of Arab Palestinian Orthodox Christians in the administration of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem, and their opposition against the clerical establishment. 456 Seiten mit 24 Abb., gebunden (Transottomanica; Band 2/V&R unipress 2020) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
