A review by kabornman
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.
