In this book, Martin Bunton focuses on the way in which the
Palestine Mandate was part of a broader British imperial
administration - a fact often masked by Jewish immigration and land
purchase in Palestine. His meticulous research reveals clear links
to colonial practice in India, Sudan, and Cyprus amongst other
places. He argues that land officials' views on sound land
management were derived from their own experiences of rural
England, and that this was far more influential on the shaping of
land policies than the promise of a Jewish National Home.
Bunton reveals how the British were intent on preserving the
status quo of Ottoman land law, which (when few Britons could read
Ottoman or were well grounded in its legal codes) led to a series
of translations, interpretations, and hence new applications of
land law. The sense of importance the British attributed to their
work surveying and registering properties and transactions, is
captured in the efforts of British officials to microfilm all of
their records at the height of the Second World War. Despite this
however, land policies remained in flux.
