Starting with the earliest references in Egyptian and Assyrian texts, Nur Masalha explores how Palestine and its Palestinian identity have evolved over thousands of years, from the Bronze Age to the present day. Drawing on a rich body of sources and the latest archaeological evidence, Masalha shows how Palestine's multicultural past has been distorted and mythologised by Biblical lore and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In the process, Masalha reveals that the concept of Palestine, contrary to accepted belief, is not a modern invention or one constructed in opposition to Israel, but rooted firmly in the ancient past. -- Dust jacket flap. 000851945 651_0 $$aPalestine$$xHistory. 000851945 85200 $$bgen$$hDS117$$i.M375$$i2018 000851945 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:851945$$pGLOBAL_SET 000851945 980__ $$aBIB 000851945 980__ $$aBOOK
