| Sumari: | This article focuses on how a group of Sephardic intellectuals, some who identified as Arab Jews, succeeded through their experiences in Cairo, Beirut, and Istanbul, to become influential actors within Ottoman Palestine’s Jewish community. Past scholarship has focused on how they tried to build a “shared homeland” with the local Palestinian population. However, this article argues that despite their success in constructing shared communities outside of Palestine, they were overall unsuccessful in forging ties with Palestinians. Through the lives of these intellectuals, we also learn about the makeup of Ottoman Palestine’s Sephardim and the complication of defining them within the framework of language and nationalism. |
