      abstract = {This open access book investigates the transnationally  connected history of Arab Christian communities in  Palestine during the British Mandate (1918-1948) through  the lens of the birth of cultural diplomacy. Relying  predominantly on unpublished sources, it examines the  relationship between European cultural agendas and local  identity formation processes and discusses the social and  religious transformations of Arab Christian communities in  Palestine via cultural lenses from an entangled  perspective. The 17 chapters reflect diverse research  interests, from case studies of individual archives to  chapters that question the concept of cultural diplomacy  more generally. They illustrate the diversity of  scholarship that enables a broad-based view of how cultural  diplomacy functioned during the interwar period, but also  the ways in which its meanings have changed. The book  considers British Mandate Palestine as an internationalised  node within a transnational framework to understand how the  complexity of cultural interactions and agencies engaged to  produce new modes of modernity.},
