  • JWST 335 - A Land of Many Faces - Israel through Time

    Credit(s): 3
    ISRAEL THROUGH TIME
    Component: Lecture
    In this course, we consider questions such as: did the Israeli kibbutz (communal living) survive the test of time? How do Arab citizens of a Jewish state perceive themselves vis a vis their Jewish counterparts? And what were the customs of Jews living in Arab countries a century ago? What changes did they undergo upon moving to Israel? Through analysis of leading Israeli authors’ literary works, we explore these major themes, as they pertain to Israeli society’s complex structure, from the foundation of the state until today. Taught in English.
