Over the past decade, histories of Late Ottoman and especially Mandate Palestine have shifted away from the political framing of the Arab-Israeli conflict to explore social and cultural history, as well as environmental and medical history. Salim Tamari has been a prominent figure in this movement, inspiring scholars and mentoring their work. This volume brings together new and established researchers on Late Ottoman and Mandate-era social and cultural history, many of them Palestinian, to showcase the work inspired by Tamari's legacy, reflect on the development of these themes in the historiographical context, and contribute to the decolonisation of Palestinian history. The contents range from considerations of tourist souvenirs and artisanal manufacture to the social history of Gaza, and from debates around cosmopolitanism in colonial Palestine to the socio-economic roles of Palestinian women.
