Palestine: A Four Thousand Year History by Nur Masalha
challenging
informative
slow-paced
4.5
This book is more an intensive research article that decolonizes history and refutes the myth of “a land without a people” by tracking down every reference to Palestine (as a nation and as a people). It also details the ways in which zionists revised (and sometimes just ignored) history in order to indigenize themselves to the land.
The reading is dense and repetitive, but I learned a lot of important history that’s been suppressed.
