Latest Achievements
Leena Dallasheh, Assistant Professor of History, recently published an article in the peer-reviewed Journal of Palestine Studies. The article, entitled "Persevering through Colonial Transition: Nazareth’s Palestinian Residents after 1948" reexamines the ambivalent relationship between Nazareth’s political leadership and the newly established State of Israel to argue that the Palestinian citizens of Israel were neither traitors and collaborators, on the one hand, nor passively quiescent, on the other. Rather, as a new national minority, Palestinians overcame myriad forms of control as they negotiated the structural obstacles placed before them by their new overlords.
