Overview

This art historical study asks what possibilities individual colonial actors had to influence official colonial policy. In the example of Jerusalem under British rule, it shows how three pro-Arab members of the British administration, all identifying with the International Arts and Crafts Movement, used art as a sphere of British colonial anti-Zionist resistance. Keywords: Palestine, British Mandate, Haram al-Sharif, Dome of the Rock, al-Aqsa Mosque, Zionism, anti-Zionism, Arab Palestinian nationalism, Zionist archaeology, The Pro-Jerusalem Society, preservation, restoration, conservation, Arts and Crafts.
