A cultural shift in Western perceptions of Palestine
Abstract
AbstractWe argue that a cultural shift in Western perceptions of Palestine began in the late 1990s to 2000s, leading to increased openness to Palestinian perspectives, including awareness of the Nakba. We present 3 computational analyses designed to test this idea against data from the 2020 Google Books English dataset. The results support the claim of a cultural shift, and help to characterize that shift.
