摘要

摘要尽管普卢默勋爵担任巴勒斯坦事务高级专员的任期(1925–28)有时被欧美主流历史描述为一个相对和平的时期,但1927年发生了两次重大破坏:7月的杰里科地震,对耶路撒冷、纳布卢斯和利达等城镇造成了严重破坏;犹太移民中的动荡,他们发现当地经济没有工作可以提供给他们——或者至少没有他们习惯的欧洲工资水平的工作。本文探讨了每一次危机与巴勒斯坦基础设施的交叉方式,特别是铁路、公路和住房存量。我认为,英国政府对待地震受害者和失业者的不同方式,提供的帮助(或未能提供的帮助),以及实施的政策,都说明了20世纪20年代中期英国在巴勒斯坦的治理性质,以及英国的行政优先事项和关切。托管当局对地震的反应——以选择性疏忽为特征——揭示了殖民政府的弱点,托管早期殖民结构的形成和运作方式存在争议,以及在其他殖民大国和国际联盟面前保持门面的程度超过了实质性行动。

1927: Earthquakes, Unemployment, and the Infrastructure of Mandate Palestine
Abstract Although Lord Plumer’s tenure as high commissioner for Palestine (1925–28) is sometimes characterized by mainstream Euro-American histories as a period of comparative peace, the year 1927 saw two major disruptions: the Jericho earthquake in July, which caused serious damage to towns and cities including Jerusalem, Nablus, and Lydda; and unrest among Jewish immigrants who found that the local economy had no jobs to offer them—or at least not ones at the European rates of pay to which they were accustomed. This article explores the ways in which each of these crises intersected with Palestine’s infrastructure—in particular its railways, roads, and housing stock. I argue that the disparate ways in which the British administration approached earthquake victims versus the unemployed, the help it offered (or failed to offer), and the policies it implemented are telling about the nature of British governance in Palestine in the mid-1920s and British administrative priorities and concerns. The Mandate authorities’ responses to the quake—characterized by selective negligence—reveal the colonial administration’s weakness, the contested ways in which colonial structures were shaped and operated in the early Mandate period, and the extent to which maintaining a facade before other colonial powers and the League of Nations outweighed substantive action.
