Summary
A First Aliya colony in Palestine at which, in Shtetl Colonialism: First and Last Impressions of Indigeneity by Colonised Colonisers, the Second Aliya writer Yona Hurewitz was disgusted to find part of the houses occupied by Arabs (Shtetl Colonialism: First and Last Impressions of Indigeneity by Colonised Colonisers, PDF p.13 / printed p.51).
Details
- The instance is given as the settlers’ surprise at the way the old colonies of the First Aliya were structured, alienation at the presence of Arabs being accompanied by that surprise (PDF p.13, note 25 to Hurewitz, ‘From Kibush Ha-Avoda to Settlement’, in The Book of the Second Aliya, p.210).
