Hillel Cohen, “Year Zero of the Arab-Israeli Conflict 1929” (Brandeis UP, 2015)

35 min • 27 april 2016

In Year Zero of the Arab-Israeli Conflict 1929 (Brandeis University Press, 2015), Hillel Cohen, senior lecturer at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, explores the outbreak of violence in Palestine in 1929.

Cohen’s method is not only to examine the events, but how the events get written down, as history, and remembered as memory.
