Sell Palestine: A Four Thousand Year History - 9781786998699 best price

This rich and magisterial work traces palestine 's millennium-old heritage, covering cultures and societies of astounding depth and complexity that stretch back to the very beginning of recorded history. Starting with the earliest references in Egyptian and Assyrian texts, Nur Masalha explores how Palestine and its Palestine identity have evolved over thousand years, from the Bronze Age to the present day. Drawing on a rich body of sources and the latest archeological evidence Masalha shows how palestine 's multicultural past has been distorted and mythologized by Biblical lore and the Israel-Palestinian conflict. In the process, Masalha reveals that the concept of Palestine, contrary to accepted belief, is not a modern invention or one constructed in opposition to Israel, but rooted firmly in ancient past. Palestine representatives the authoritative account of the country 's history. Product details.
