SUMMARY:Public Lecture - Uncertain Empire: Jews\, Nationalism\, and the Fate of British Imperialism
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a talk on Elizabeth E. Imber’s award-winning new book: Uncertain Empire: Jews\, Nationalism\, and the Fate of British Imperialism \nRegistration Required: Register here \nFollowing the British takeover of Ottoman Palestine\, Jews across the British world found themselves at the center of global political debate. This talk explores the complex relationship among British Imperial policy\, Zionism\, and emerging movements of national self-determination from 1917 to the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. In doing so\, it shows how the trajectory of British rule became central to Zionist and broader Jewish political thought during a period marked by profound urgency and uncertainty. \nElizabeth E. Imber is Associate Professor of History and the Michael and Lisa Leffell Chair in Modern Jewish History at Clark University. Her work examines the cultural and political dimensions and intersections of Jewish history and European imperial history in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Her first book\, Uncertain Empire: Jews\, Nationalism\, and the Fate of British Imperialism was published by Stanford University Press in 2025 winning that year’s National Jewish Book Awards – JDC-Herbert Katzki Award (Writing Based on Archival Material).
