About this title

Synopsis:

This study describes the contribution of the British Administration to the development of the Mandate Palestine between 1917 - 1929. ll deals with the relation between a new modem government and changes in the landscape. The special character of the British Administration in Palestine helped to create a new state in the Middle East, a modern state with a geographic "iconography" that reflected British tastes and input. This view differs from other works on the British in Palestine which deal mainly with the political history of the area rather than its historical geography. Gideon Biger is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Geography at Tel Aviv Unh�rrsity. His field of interest is the historical and political geography of the Middle East. He is the author of Crown Colony or National Homeland (Hebrew ), co-editor of Geography and Ideology in Historical Perspective and a writer of many articles on historical and political geography.
