Library Journal Promotional Rashid Khalidis massive study of the construction of Palestinian national identity is a pathbreaking work of major importance. It is the first book to work from the premise that such an identity does in fact exist and then proceeds to uncover its overlapping layers, historical phases, and tragic setbacks with a complete mastery of the relevant literature in Arabic, Hebrew, and Western sources. This is an essential book for anyone trying to understand the Byzantine complexities and background of the flawed Middle East peace process... Extremely readable and gripping, Palestinian Identity is a remarkable achievement of the historians art. -- Edward Said, author of Orientalism Review Quote "Pathbreaking." -- Library Journal Excerpt from Book "I believe that discussions of whether a one-state or a two-state solution to this conflict is preferable have a slightly surreal quality in the current critical environment. What has to be done is not to debate how many states can dance on the head of a pin, but rather to devise how to reverse-very rapidly-the powerful current dynamic and get the Palestinian people out of the state they are in. The highly inequitable de facto one-state solution now in effect looks more and more entrenched, but, paradoxically, I predict it will become more and more untenable and more violently unstable as time goes on."-From the new introduction Details ISBN023115075X Author Rashid Khalidi Short Title PALESTINIAN IDENTITY Publisher Columbia University Press Language English ISBN-10 023115075X ISBN-13 9780231150750 Media Book Format Paperback Year 2009 Imprint Columbia University Press Subtitle The Construction of Modern National Consciousness Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States Residence Chicago, IL, US Affiliation Columbia University Position Edward Said Professor of Arab Studies Translated from English Publication Date 2009-12-28 UK Release Date 2009-12-28 NZ Release Date 2009-12-28 US Release Date 2009-12-28 Pages 352 DEWEY 320.54095694 Audience Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly AU Release Date 2009-12-27 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
