'Khalidi is the foremost scholar on Palestine' GUARDIAN
'The best book to appear on the struggle for Palestine' AVI SHLAIM, author of Three Worlds
The al-Khalidi family has walked the streets of Jerusalem for more than a thousand years. Now, celebrated scholar Rashid Khalidi draws on his family story and his own experiences to offer a powerful, accessible introduction to the history of the Palestinian people and their land.
From the relative stability of the Ottoman Empire to the Balfour Declaration of 1917 and Israel's ongoing colonial war - and offering insights into the future of Palestine - Palestine: A Short History is a compelling entry point into a century of conflict and resistance.
Through Khalidi's eyes, you will encounter the beautiful, ancient, living land of Palestine and gain a better understanding of what is happening there today, as well as the background to the world's most urgent - and misunderstood - conflict.
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.
