But in the lands controlled by the Ottomans, and then by the British in the early and mid-twentieth century, teachers were key players in government and leading formulators of ideologies. Drawing on archival research and oral histories, Teachers as State-Builders brings to light educators' outsized role in shaping the politics of the modern Middle East. Hilary Falb Kalisman tells the story of the few young Arab men--and fewer young Arab women--who were lucky enough to teach public school in the territories that became Iraq, Jordan, and Palestine/Israel. Crossing Ottoman provincial and, later, Mandate and national borders for work and study, these educators were advantageously positioned to assume mid- and even high-level administrative positions in multiple government bureaucracies. All told, over one-third of the prime ministers who served in Iraq from the 1950s through the 1960s, and in Jordan from the 1940s through the early 1970s, were former public school teachers--a trend that changed only when independence, occupation, and mass education degraded the status of teaching. The first history of education across Britain's Middle Eastern Mandates, this transnational study reframes our understanding of the profession of teaching, the connections between public education and nationalism, and the fluid politics of the interwar Middle East. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 225-255) and index. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Teachers $z Middle East. 650 0 $a Education $x Political aspects $z Middle East. 650 0 $a Arab nationalism $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Arab nationalism $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00812216 650 7 $a Education $x Political aspects $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902728 650 7 $a Politics and government $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Teachers $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01144248 651 0 $a Middle East $x Politics and government $y 20th century. 651 7 $a Middle East $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01241586 655 7 $a History $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9780691204321 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240417025629.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A95B9F0CFC8011EE9ABF7B513DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
