HIS-376 History of Zionism and Modern Israel
This course explores the history of the Zionism
movement and the history of Israel from 1948 to
the present. We will examine the yishuv (Jewish
communities in the Pre-State of Israel), the
establishment of Israel in 1948, the wars between
Israel and its neighbors, Jerusalem, the birth of
new cities and kibbutzim (collective
communities), and Israeli daily life, culture,
and art.
