Tracing the history of Palestine from the Ottomans in the
nineteenth century, through the British Mandate, the establishment
of the state of Israel in 1948, and the subsequent wars and
conflicts which have dominated this troubled region, Ilan Pappe's
widely acclaimed A History of Modern Palestine provides a balanced
and forthright overview of Palestine's complex history. Placing at
its centre the voices of the men, women, children, peasants,
workers, town-dwellers, Jews and Arabs of Palestine, who lived
through these times, this tells a story of co-existence and
co-operation, as well as oppression, occupation, and exile,
exposing patterns of continuity as well as points of fracture. Now
in an updated third edition, Pappe draws links between contemporary
events, from war in Lebanon, violence in the Gaza Strip and the
Arab Spring, with the long history of Palestine, taking into
account the success of Israel without neglecting the on-going
catastrophe suffered by Palestinians, leaving hope for a better
future for all who live in, or were expelled, from Palestine.
