Partition-the physical division of territory along ethno-religious
lines into separate nation-states-is often presented as a
successful political "solution" to ethnic conflict. In the
twentieth century, at least three new political entities-the Irish
Free State, the Dominions (later Republics) of India and Pakistan,
and the State of Israel-emerged as results of partition. This
volume offers the first collective history of the concept of
partition, tracing its emergence in the aftermath of the First
World War and locating its genealogy in the politics of
twentieth-century empire and decolonization. Making use of the
transnational framework of the British Empire, which presided over
the three major partitions of the twentieth century, contributors
draw out concrete connections among the cases of Ireland, Pakistan,
and Israel-the mutual influences, shared personnel, economic
justifications, and material interests that propelled the idea of
partition forward and resulted in the violent creation of new
post-colonial political spaces. In so doing, the volume seeks to
move beyond the nationalist frameworks that served in the first
instance to promote partition as a natural phenomenon.
