Palestine: A Four Thousand Year History by Nur Masalha
challenging
informative
slow-paced
3.0
I (wrongly) assumed this would give me knowledge about the ancient history of Palestine. However it is mainly a history of the name Palestine as opposed to a cultural history. It is incredibly well researched but challenging to read as it reads like an academic essay. Despite this I recommend for anyone who believes that the name Palestine is a relatively modern or Israeli given name.
