Description
Clark University History professor Elizabeth Imber gives a talk exploring the intricate interplay between British imperialism, Zionism, and anticolonial movements from the 1917 British conquest of Palestine to the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948. With context from her new book, Uncertain Empire: Jews, Nationalism, and the Fate of British Imperialism (Stanford University Press, 2025), Imber illustrates how the British Empire’s fate became central to Zionist and broader Jewish political thought during a time marked by profound urgency and exigency.
