This volume deals with an eventful period in the modern history of
Palestine. It provides new insights into the role of the US consuls
in the Ottoman Middle East in the special context of the Holy Land.
The motivations and functioning of the American consuls in
Jerusalem, and of the consular agents in Jaffa and Haifa, are
analyzed as part of the US diplomatic and consular activity
throughout the world, and of Western involvement in the Ottoman
Empire and in Palestine during the century preceding WWI. The
processes of cultural, demographic, economic, environmental and
settlement change - sometimes at the expense of the local
population - and the contribution of the US consuls and American
settlers, both Christian and Jewish, to development and
modernization of Palestine are discussed.
