Summary/Abstract |
Mulabbis was the first Arab village whose lands were acquired by Jews for settlement purposes (1878), and is counted among the earliest villages to be fully depopulated due to Zionist settlement during the Late Ottoman period. However, the history of Mulabbis, or of any of the other villages depopulated at that time, has not been discussed in any depth. By adopting oral history as its socio-cultural prism, this paper identifies the residents of the village, descendants of Abu Hamed al-Masri, and explores their historical narratives as recounted by elders of the family within the context of settler colonialism in Palestine. As an oral history of a village depopulated in the Late Ottoman period, the story of Mulabbis may offer us a glimpse at future trends of cultural recollection of the Nakba: it is an idealized lost homeland, and a relational signifier of patrimony for the descendants of its inhabitants.

Summary/Abstract |
The article explores the interplay between transnational migration, cultural patrimony and political conflict, tying together the former realms of the Russian and Ottoman Empires. It discusses the role played by Russian Jews in the development of the Zionist-Arab conflict in Palestine until 1948. It focuses on the Northern Sharon, where three distinct immigrant groups – Circassians, Bosnians and Russian Jews – settled in the 1870s–1890s. Methodologically, it adopts a new, twofold, approach to the genesis of the conflict, by tracing its roots within the broader setting of Eurasian transnational migrations to Palestine, and the stricter context of ‘locality expressing glocality’, that is, of specific colonies and their development under internal pressures and outside interactions. In 1948, prior actions aimed at achieving ethnic homogeneity through coerced population transfers during the disintegration Eurasian imperial polities served as a blueprint for some of the same Zionist immigrants for achieving plurality in their new Jewish State.
