Leena Dallasheh
History
Leena Dallasheh, Assistant Professor of History, recently published an article in the peer-reviewed Journal of Palestine Studies. The article, entitled "Persevering through Colonial Transition: Nazareth’s Palestinian Residents after 1948" reexamines the ambivalent relationship between Nazareth’s political leadership and the newly established State of Israel to argue that the Palestinian citizens of Israel were neither traitors and collaborators, on the one hand, nor passively quiescent, on the other. Rather, as a new national minority, Palestinians overcame myriad forms of control as they negotiated the structural obstacles placed before them by their new overlords.

Leena Dallasheh
History
History Assistant Professor Leena Dallasheh had her article "Troubled Waters: Citizenship and Colonial Zionism in Nazareth" published in the International Journal of Middle East Studies. Focused on the contest over water management in Nazareth during early Israeli statehood (1948–56), it traces the negotiations between the city’s Palestinian residents and the Israeli state. A microcosm of Palestinians’ incorporation as undesired and marginalized citizens into a self-defined Jewish state, it shows how the struggle over a vital natural resource, where it is in short supply, was both a matter of fulfilling practical needs and a part of negotiating citizenship.
