The 1922 Palestine Census: Counting a Contested Land
Om avsnittet
In 1922, British Mandate officials conducted the first comprehensive census of Palestine. The results—781,000 people, 78% Muslim, 11% Jewish—shaped everything from land policy to the emerging national conflict. This episode explores how the census was designed, who counted, who was missed, and how its categories of religion and language hardened into modern identities. We look at the British officials behind it, the local reactions in Arabic, Hebrew, and English, and the census's long echo in debates over demography and political rights. A story of numbers, names, and the power to define a people.
