The 1908 Yafa Orange Harvest and the Birth of the Citrus Boycott
Om avsnittet
In 1908, the Young Turk Revolution promised liberty, equality, and fraternity across the Ottoman Empire. But in Palestine, it also ignited a fierce economic war over the nation's most precious export: the Jaffa orange. This episode follows the rise of the Shamouti orange, the arrival of Jewish immigrant labor, and the grassroots Arab boycott that pitted the citrus groves of Jaffa against the boycotting farmers of Nablus. We meet the citrus magnates, the fellahin who picked the fruit, and the merchants caught in the crossfire. How did a fruit become a symbol of national identity? And why did the boycott fail to stop the tide of change? Join Lucas and Luna as they trace the 1908 orange harvest, the birth of the citrus boycott, and the seeds of economic nationalism in Palestine.
