This rich and magisterial work traces Palestine's millennia-old
heritage, uncovering cultures and societies of astounding depth and
complexity that stretch back to the very beginnings of recorded
history. Starting with the earliest references in Egyptian and
Assyrian texts, Nur Masalha explores how Palestine and its
Palestinian identity have evolved over thousands of years, from the
Bronze Age to the present day. Drawing on a rich body of sources
and the latest archaeological evidence, Masalha shows how
Palestine's multicultural past has been distorted and mythologised
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
represents the authoritative account of the country's history.
