careinthelibrary's review against another edition

informative sad slow-paced

I enjoyed the parts about the author's life and family most, but the historical context was also enlightening. A bit dense, but consequently full of information.

challenging informative slow-paced

5.0

I am giving this 5.0 not necessarily because I enjoyed the read, because it was tough and slow going. But I am giving it 5.0 because I think it has given me confidence in knowing more about the historical context that makes our current global situation so temultuous. This is essential reading.

5.0

This was so informative and filled in a lot of knowledge gaps I had about Palestine and how we got to where we are now. It's dry reading, but Khalidi filled in his own family's history and that gave it a bit more narrative structure beyond the dry historical info. I wish I'd read this when it first published as it would have helped me speak more knowledgeably on the subject, particularly during the past few months.
