Latest Achievements
History Assistant Professor Leena Dallasheh had her article "Troubled Waters: Citizenship and Colonial Zionism in Nazareth" published in the International Journal of Middle East Studies. Focused on the contest over water management in Nazareth during early Israeli statehood (1948–56), it traces the negotiations between the city’s Palestinian residents and the Israeli state. A microcosm of Palestinians’ incorporation as undesired and marginalized citizens into a self-defined Jewish state, it shows how the struggle over a vital natural resource, where it is in short supply, was both a matter of fulfilling practical needs and a part of negotiating citizenship.
