Seminar "L'Histoire de Gaza" by Prof. Jean-Pierre Filiu
4 December 2023
Sciences Po Rabat, UIR, Morocco
This exclusive seminar dedicated to an astonishing “history of Gaza” brought together students from Sciences Po Rabat, as well as doctoral students and professors from the Center for Global Studies, in an atmosphere conducive to learning and dialogue. On this occasion, Professor Jean-Pierre Filiu retraced the dense and little-known history of this territory from antiquity to the present; a history marked by multiple struggles in the face of successive waves of domination, but also and above all by a rich culture at the heart of an open civilizational crossroads.
