“From Nahda to Nakba: The Governmental Arab College of Jerusalem and Its Palestinian Heritage in the First Half of the Twentieth Century”

A study of the Governmental Arab College of Jerusalem (formerly called the Men’s Teacher Training College), which in its short 30-year life span managed to produce some of the most important Palestinian politicians, activists, and academics of the 20th century.
