Partitions: A Transnational History of Twentieth-Century Territorial Separatism

Arie Dubnov, associate professor of history and Max Ticktin Professor of Israel Studies, has edited the first collective history of the concept of partition by way of three political entities that emerged as a result of partition: the Irish Free State, the Dominions (later Republics) of India and Pakistan and the State of Israel. The collected essays trace the emergence of partition in the aftermath of the First World War and locate its genealogy in the politics of 20th-century empire and decolonization.
