La semplificazione dell'altro : il caso della Palestina

This volume addresses the way in which the British government carried out its politics in Palestine between 1914 and 1924, supporting the Zionist movement in its aims of creating a «national home» in the Land of Israel. London transformed into political practises a long-lasting process of cultural construction of Palestine: the latter was simplified and interpreted according to an allegedly immutable Biblical past, so that the local population was completely overlooked and marginalised.
