DESCRIPTION:The fourth talk of the series titled "New Book Series: Israel/Palestine Studies:"  "Palestinian Doctors: Medical Practice and the Transformation of Palestine\, 1900–1948\," with Yoni Furas\, Senior Lecturer\, Department of Middle Eastern History\, University of Haifa  Palestinian doctors became a dynamic\, vocal\, influential\, and fascinating professional community over the first half of the twentieth century\, growing from roughly a dozen on the eve of World War I to 300 in 1948. This study examines the social history of this group during the late Ottoman and British Mandate periods\, examining their social and geographic origins\, their professional academic training outside Palestine\, and their role and agency in the country's medical market. Yoni Furas and Liat Kozma examine doctors' interactions with the rural and urban society and their entangled relationship with the British colonial administration and Jewish doctors. This book also provides an in-depth description of how Palestinian doctors thought and wrote about themselves and their personal\, professional\, and collective ambitions\, underlining the challenges they faced while attempting to unionize. Furas and Kozma tell Palestine's story through the acts and challenges of these doctors\, writing them back into the local and regional history.  This series is cosponsored by The Middle East and North African Studies Program and The Roberta Buffett Institute for Global Affairs
