What ideas dominate the key textbooks on the subject and what is presented as 'truth'? This book answers these critical questions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt is widely known that Western support of Israel played a vital role in the realization of Zionist objectives in Palestine. But academic support of Israel in the West has been a neglected issue, with Western academic knowledge being regarded as impartial and objective. This book reveals that this understanding of Western academic knowledge is wrong when it comes to the Israel\/Palestine question. Rather, knowledge has been biased, misleading, and dogmatic and Western college students are subscribing to 'factual histories' based on theories at best, if not fiction. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book is the first empirical investigation able to document this partial reporting of history. Seyed Hadi Borhani examines the most popular college-level textbooks used to teach the history of the Israel\/Palestine in Western universities, combining 'textbook analysis' (to determine how the dominant academic texts report the question) and a 'context analysis' (to identify who 'manufactures' the dominant knowledge). The book provides a historical map of how the Israel-Palestine conflict is understood in the West. The book can be used as a critique for students and professors to use alongside textbooks and is a vital and much-needed intervention into the state of affairs in Western academia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Seyed Hadi Borhani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350233110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350233119\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e I.
