\n\n\n\n

The 1948 Palestine War: From the Local to the Global<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his talk, Derek Penslar will compare the emotions and perceptions that the public on three different continents \u2014 Asia, Europe, and South America \u2014 brought to the Palestine question and the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.  He will discuss how 1948 marked the intensification of the world\u2018s longstanding interest in the region, for reasons that went beyond events in Palestine in and of themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
