About Jews And Palestinians In The Late Ottoman
Product Description Uncovering a history buried by different nationalist narratives (Jewish, Israeli, Arab and Palestinian) this book looks at how the late Ottoman era set the stage for the on-going Palestinian-Israeli conflict. It presents an innovative analysis of the struggle in its first years, when Palestine was still an integral part of the Ottoman Empire. And it argues that in the late Ottoman era, Jews and Palestinians were already locked in conflict: the new freedoms introduced by the Young Turk Constitutional Revolution exacerbated divisions (rather than serving as a unifying factor). Offering an integrative approach, it considers both communities, together and separately, in order to provide a more sophisticated narrative of how the conflict unfolded in its first years. Review Louis Fishman's book offers a gripping account of the emergence of Palestinian and Zionist identities in the final decades of the Ottoman Empire. Deeply researched and nuanced in its understanding of the evolution of both of these communities and of how their emergence helped produce the conflict of subsequent years, this book is essential reading for anyone wanting a full picture of why that conflict is so intractable. , Rashid Khalidi, Edward Said Professor of Arab Studies, Columbia University From the Inside Flap Looks at how Jews and Palestinians set out to claim the homeland during the late Ottoman eraUncovering a recent history buried by competing nationalist narratives (Jewish, Arab and Palestinian) this book looks at how the late Ottoman era set the stage for the Palestinian-Israeli conflict that has lasted for over a century.
