History of Israel/Palestine: Building a Palestinian Nation in the 1950s [3.14]
Description
In 1948, Palestinians suffered both dispossession and expulsion as a result of losing the civil war. But what became of the idea of the Palestinian nation? This episode explores the political and cultural fate of Palestinian nationalism in the 1950s, highlighting how and why in the postwar period Arab-controlled territory did not become an independent Palestinian state. At the same time, it also explores the ways in which the Nakbah paved the way for new expressions of Palestinian identity, helping to cement this sense of national belonging despite living in the Diaspora. The episode then ends with the death of the Jordanian king Abdullah I, whose efforts to subsume Palestinians into his Hashemite state became a pyrrhic victory.
