The Palestine of Soraya Antonius and Annemarie Jacir (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Palestine of Soraya Antonius and Annemarie Jacir. In The Lord and in Palestine ’36, the story of Mandatory Palestine comes into focus. Perhaps no moment in modern history has been more consequential for Palestine than the period between the two world wars. In the early 1920s, Palestinian peasant farmers, only recently free of the Ottoman Empire, had to continue paying heavy taxes on land, cattle, and property to the British Mandate.

Read excerpt
What happened to the American university? Once the envy of the world, higher education in the United States is now in a state of endless crisis. The American university is in crisis. Neither the public, the students, nor even the faculty believe in a system that was once the envy of the world. The lack of faith in universities is striking. According to Gallup, the portion of Americans who were “confident” in American higher education dropped from 57 percent to 42 percent between 2015 and 2025. M
