A New Critical Approach to the History of Palestine discusses
prospects and methods for a comprehensive, evidence-based history
of Palestine with a critical use of recent historical,
archaeological and anthropological methods. This history is not an
exclusive history but one that is ethnically and culturally
inclusive, a history of and for all peoples who have lived in
Palestine. After an introductory essay offering a strategy for
creating coherence and continuity from the earliest beginnings to
the present, the volume presents twenty articles from twenty-two
contributors, fifteen of whom are of Middle Eastern origin or
relation. Split thematically into four parts, the volume discusses
ideology, national identity and chronology in various
historiographies of Palestine, and the legacy of memory and oral
history; the transient character of ethnicity in Palestine and
questions regarding the ethical responsibilities of archaeologists
and historians to protect the multi-ethnic cultural heritage of
Palestine; landscape and memory, and the values of community
archaeology and bio-archaeology; and an exploration of the
"ideology of the land" and its influence on Palestine's history and
heritage. The first in a series of books under the auspices of the
Palestine History and Heritage Project (PaHH), the volume offers a
challenging new departure for writing the history of Palestine and
Israel throughout the ages. A New Critical Approach to the History
of Palestine explores the diverse history of the region against the
backdrop of twentieth-century scholarly construction of the history
of Palestine as a history of a Jewish homeland with roots in an
ancient, biblical Israel and examines the implications of this
ancient and recent history for archaeology and cultural heritage.
The book offers a fascinating new perspective for students and
academics in the fields of anthropological, political, cultural and
biblical history.
