Partitions: A Transnational History of Twentieth-Century Territorial Separatism

Arie M. Dubnov, associate professor of history, and Max Ticktin, chair of Israel studies, co-edited this first collective history of the concept of partition, the physical division of territory along ethno-religious lines into separate nation-states. The book traces the emergence of partition in the aftermath of the First World War and locates its genealogy in the politics of 20th century empire and decolonization.
