A review by dananana
Palestine: A Four Thousand Year History by Nur Masalha

Did not finish book. Stopped at 49%.

Written in a verrryyyy dense style that was often repetitive and very meandering. I thought this would be a history of the culture of Palestine and a broad historical view of the politics that have shaped it thoughout the last 3,000+ years. This book had those elements, but was also more a history of "all the times throughout history that this region was called Palestine." Still important, seeing as Israel is trying to erase that history, but not quite what I was looking for. 

All the same, I did learn a fair amount, I just really struggled to get as far as I did and my library book was due. Gonna read some other books on Palestine that I've got on my Kobo soon.
