Mandatory Palestine

“Mandatory Palestine” as a book category covers works about the British administration of Palestine from 1920 to 1948 and the territory it governed. It includes academic histories, biographies, memoirs, fiction, travel writing, and primary-source collections that examine government policy, social and cultural life, immigration and settlement, economy, law, and daily experiences of the period. Books may focus on key events such as the 1920s–30s unrest, the Arab Revolt, World War II, and the UN partition deliberations, and often trace how this era set the stage for the 1948 war and the creation of Israel. The category encompasses British, Palestinian Arab, Jewish (Yishuv), and international perspectives, engaging themes of colonial rule, nationalism, identity, and the origins of the Arab–Israeli conflict, and may also include maps, legal texts, and archival materials specific to the Mandate years.
