But until now there has been no single volume in English that tells the history of the events--from the Ottoman Empire to the mid-twentieth century--that shaped modern Palestine. The first book of its kind, \u003ci\u003eA History of Palestine\u003c\/i\u003e offers a richly detailed interpretation of this critical region's evolution. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Starting with the prebiblical and biblical roots of Palestine, noted historian Gudrun Kr mer examines the meanings ascribed to the land in the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions. Paying special attention to social and economic factors, she examines the gradual transformation of Palestine, following the history of the region through the Egyptian occupation of the mid-nineteenth century, the Ottoman reform era, and the British Mandate up to the founding of Israel in 1948. Focusing on the interactions of Arabs and Jews, \u003ci\u003eA History of Palestine\u003c\/i\u003e tells how these connections affected the cultural and political evolution of each community and Palestine as a whole.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gudrun Kr舂er\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691118973\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691118970\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/03\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 6.48w x 1.12d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/21\/2008 pg. 166\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/28\/0009 pg. 38","brand":"Gudrun Kr舂er","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44566882648319,"sku":"9780691118970","price":74.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4b544822-3208-4a49-bfa8-466ce995a195.jpg?v=1701374894","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-history-of-palestine-gudrun-krmer-9780691118970","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
