Is religion a source of political stability and social continuity, or an agent of
radical change ? This question, so central to contemporary conversations about religion
and extremism, has generated varied responses over the last century. Taking Jewish
and Islamic education as its objects of inquiry, Mandatory Separation sheds light
on the contours of this debate in Palestine during the formative period of British
rule, detailing how colonial, Zionist, and Palestinian-Muslim leaders developed competing
views of the form and function of religious education in an age of mass politics.
Drawing from archival records, school syllabi, textbooks, newspapers, and personal
narratives, Suzanne Schneider argues that the British Mandatory government supported
religious education as a supposed antidote to nationalist passions at the precise
moment when the administrative, pedagogic, and curricular transformation of religious
schooling rendered it a vital tool for Zionist and Palestinian leaders. This study
of their policies and practices illuminates the tensions, similarities, and differences
among these diverse educational and political philosophies, revealing the lasting
significance of these debates for thinking about religion and political identity in
the modern Middle East
