This volume explores the distribution of the rural population in
Palestine from the late Ottoman period (1870-1917) to the British
Mandate period (1917-1948). The book focuses on demography,
specifically migrations, population size, density, growth, and the
pattern of distribution in rural Palestine before the inception of
Jewish settlement (1882). Grossman traces little-known Muslim
ethnic groups who settled in Palestine's rural areas, primarily
Egyptians, but also Algerians, Bosnians, and Circassians. The
author argues that the Arab population in the zones occupied by
Jews after 1882 was about one-third that of the Arab core areas; in
the period studied, the decline in per-capita rural Arab farmland
was mainly due to overall population growth, not displacement of
Arabs; economic development suffered largely because of violent
disturbances and natural disasters; the pattern of growth of
Egyptian and other Muslim groups was similar to that of the Jews.
The main conclusions of this study note that the size of the rural
Arab population in the zones occupied by Jews after 1882 was about
one-tenth of that which occupied the Arab core zones; most Egyptian
settlement areas coincided with those of the Jewish zones; between
1870 and 1945, the decline of Arab farmland was mainly due to Arab
population growth rather than Jewish land acquisitions; and most
migrants (Jewish and Muslim) settlement zones were leftovers
characterized by some form of resource disability.
