'This cogent and compelling Palestinian perspective is long overdue' Guardian
'Riveting and original ... a work enriched by solid scholarship, vivid personal experience, and acute appreciation of the concerns and aspirations of the contending parties in this deeply unequal conflict ' Noam Chomsky
The twentieth century for Palestine and the Palestinians has been a century of denial: denial of statehood, denial of nationhood and denial of history. The Hundred Years War on Palestine is Rashid Khalidi's powerful response. Drawing on his family archives, he reclaims the fundamental right of any people: to narrate their history on their own terms.
Beginning in the final days of the Ottoman Empire, Khalidi reveals nascent Palestinian nationalism and the broad recognition by the early Zionists of the colonial nature of their project. These ideas and their echoes defend Nakba - the Palestinian term for the establishment of the state of Israel - the cession of the West Bank and Gaza to Jordan and Egypt, the Six Day War and the occupation. Moving through these critical moments, Khalidi interweaves the voices of journalists, poets and resistance leaders with his own accounts as a child of a UN official and a resident of Beirut during the 1982 seige. The result is a profoundly moving account of a hundred-year-long war of occupation, dispossession and colonialisation.
Rashid Khalidi is the author of the international bestseller The Hundred Years' War on Palestine and seven other books about the Middle East, including The Iron Cage, Brokers of Deceit and the award-winning Palestinian Identity. He is the Edward Said Chair Emeritus in Arab Studies at Columbia University and was the editor of the Journal of Palestine Studies. He has received numerous awards for his research and is a regular commentator on Palestine in the New York Times, the Guardian and elsewhere.
