Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox scientist
Gabriel Baer (1919-1982) was a German-born Israeli orientalist, an expert on the social history of the 18th and 19th-century Middle East, notably Egypt but also the Ottoman Empire.[1] Baer was born on 13 January 1919 in Berlin, Germany. He died in Jerusalem, Israel, on September 22, 1982.
Activism
A Trotskyist activist in his youth, he was a member of the German section of the Fourth International.
In 1933, he left for Mandatory Palestine.
He became a member of the Hugim Marxistiim (Marxist Circles), the youth group of a faction of Poale Zion, the labour Zionist movement but left it in 1937 with Trotskyist theoretician and activist Tony Cliff to found the Brit Kommunistim Mahapchanin (the Revolutionary Communist League), a section of the Fourth International in Palestine. In the late 1940s he left Palestine for Britain where he became a member of the Revolutionary Communist Party writing a number of articles in its paper Socialist Appeal. When the RCP collapsed he became a member of the Socialist Review group led by Tony Cliff who had joined him in Britain.Шаблон:Citation needed
Under the byline "S. Munir," he wrote several articles on the political and social situation in the Middle East in the late 1940s and early 1950s.[2]
Academic career
He studied Arab literature and Muslim history at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and at the American University of Beirut.
Starting from 1954, he was a teacher at the Hebrew University, where he was instrumental in expanding the African and Asian Studies Institute there. He trained a whole generation of young scholars who were to become professors at Israeli universities.[1]
In 1965, he founded the Journal of Asian and African Studies, which he edited until 1981. He was also, from 1953 to 1966, the editor of Hamisrah Hehadash (The New East), a journal published in Jerusalem by the Israel Oriental Society.
He died in Jerusalem, Israel, on September 22, 1982,[3] being survived by his wife, Eva Baer, a specialist of Islamic art, who like him had emigrated to Palestine in 1938.
