The Palestine Exploration Fund, established in 1865, is the oldest
organization created specifically for the study of the Levant. It
helped to spur evangelical tourism to the region in the late 19th
and early 20th centuries which in turn generated a huge array of
literature that presented Palestine as a 'Holy Land', in which
local populations were often portrayed as a simple appendix to
well-known Biblical scenarios. In the first book focused on modern
and contemporary Palestine to provide a top-down and a bottom-up
perspective on the process of simplification of the region and its
inhabitants under British influence, Lorenzo Kamel offers a
comprehensive outlook based on primary sources from 17 archives
that spans a variety of cultural and social boundaries, including
local identities, land tenure, toponymy, religious and political
charges, institutions and borders. By observing the historical
dynamics through which a fluid region composed by different
cultures and societies has been simplified, the author explores how
perceptions of Palestine have been affected today.WINNER OF THE
