The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine
A History of Settler Colonial Conquest and Resistance, 1917-2017 by Rashid Khalidi
A landmark history of one hundred years of war waged against the Palestinians from the foremost US historian of the Middle East, told through pivotal events and family history.
@ymishory @Kirilov @appassionato @bookstodon @palestine I think Khalid’s claims are not exceptional, but rather mainstream in academic (not populist) circles, given the numbers of other authors who propose a similar thesis. See eg Ilan Pappe, Schlomo Sand, Edward Said.
@KarunaX@mastodon.world @ymishory@tooot.im @Kirilov@kolektiva.social @appassionato@mastodon.social @bookstodon@a.gup.pe @palestine@a.gup.pe You mean Khalidi? Have you even read the text? Said is not a historian and Pappe does not come to the same conclusions.
@Kirilov@kolektiva.social @ymishory@tooot.im @appassionato@mastodon.social @bookstodon@a.gup.pe @palestine@a.gup.pe Ilan Pappe’s writing is certainly in the same ballpark. Perhaps you haven’t bothered reading his work? But back to the main point - the title of Khalid’s book reflects the very real history of Palestine. You may not like that, but that is fact.
