Description
These 15 essays bring a legal perspective to the history of Israel during the period beginning with World War I and ending with the Ten Days War. They consider the impact of colonialism, nationalism, and socialism on the laws of Palestine and Israel. Particular attention is given to the relation of the law to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the role of the courts, and the influence of class. Contributors include legal authorities, legal scholars, historians, and sociologists from Israel and the United States. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
