Uncovering a history buried by different nationalist narratives (Jewish, Israeli, Arab and Palestinian) this book looks at how the Late Ottoman era set the stage for the on-going Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
Offering an integrative approach, it considers both communities, together and separately, in order to provide a more sophisticated narrative of how the conflict unfolded in its first years..
And it argues that in the Late Ottoman era, Jews and Palestinians were already locked in conflict: the new freedoms introduced by the Young Turk Constitutional Revolution exacerbated divisions (rather than serving as a unifying factor).
It presents an innovative analysis of the struggle in its first years, when Palestine was still an integral part of the Ottoman Empire.
