From Gandhi and Nehru to the Balfour Declaration; from the fraught negotiations over the British Mandate in Palestine to to the coining of the word 'Pakistan', Cambridge played (and continues to play) a significant role in the drama of colonial struggles for self-determination—struggles which led, in 1947/8, to the epochal partitions of India-Pakistan and Israel-Palestine.
Cambridge academic Erin M.B. O'Halloran is the author of a new book, 'East of Empire: Egypt, India and the World between the Wars' which traces the many threads linking British, Arab, Indian and European history between the 1919 Treaty of Versailles and the 1947 votes in favour of partitioning first India, and then Palestine. In this walking tour, O'Halloran shows how many of these threads converged and intertwined in the city of Cambridge.
At the end of each tour, participants have the opportunity to purchase copies of 'East of Empire' & have them signed by the author.
