NES 4525
Palestinians in Israel

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.

Following the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 and the first Arab-Israeli war, over 150,000 Palestinian Arabs remained in Israel. Referred to by the Arab media as "1948 Arabs" or "Arabs within" and by the Israeli media as "Israeli Arabs" or "the Arab sector," this community is often overlooked in discussions about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the peace process. In this seminar we will focus our attention on the history, experiences, and identity of this marginalized, and largely bilingual community. We will read and discuss a range of texts in Hebrew and Arabic by and about Palestinian-Israelis. Readings will include historical and sociological studies, journalism, and literature. Students are expected to have achieved an advanced level of either Hebrew or Arabic and an intermediate level of the other language.
