The Hundred Years' War on Palestine: The New York Times Bestseller by Rashid I.

Description: The Hundred Years' War on Palestine by Rashid I. Khalidi This is the story of Palestine told from the inside. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Riveting and original ... a work enriched by solid scholarship, vivid personal experience, and acute appreciation of the concerns and aspirations of the contending parties in this deeply unequal conflict - Noam ChomskyThe twentieth century for Palestine and the Palestinians has been a century of denial: denial of statehood, denial of nationhood and denial of history. The Hundred Years War on Palestine is Rashid Khalidis powerful response. Drawing on his family archives, he reclaims the fundamental right of any people: to narrate their history on their own terms.Beginning in the final days of the Ottoman Empire, Khalidi reveals nascent Palestinian nationalism and the broad recognition by the early Zionists of the colonial nature of their project. These ideas and their echoes defend Nakba - the Palestinian term for the establishment of the state of Israel - the cession of the West Bank and Gaza to Jordan and Egypt, the Six Day War and the occupation. Moving through these critical moments, Khalidi interweaves the voices of journalists, poets and resistance leaders with his own accounts as a child of a UN official and a resident of Beirut during the 1982 seige. The result is a profoundly moving account of a hundred-year-long war of occupation, dispossession and colonialisation. Author Biography Professor Rashid I. Khalidi is a Palestinian-American historian and the Edward Said professor of Modern Arab Studies at Columbia University and the co-editor of the Journal of Palestine. His previous books include Palestinian Identity, the Iron Cage, and Brokers of Deceit. Review Khalidi is rigorous and lucid in assembling his argument, piling up evidence but fair-minded to his opponents and withering about the shortcomings of his side. -- David Gardner * FT *A work enriched by solid scholarship, vivid personal experience, and acute appreciation of the concerns and aspirations of the contending parties in this deeply unequal conflict -- Noam Chomsky Promotional This is the story of Palestine told from the inside Long Description This is the story of Palestine told from the inside.
