The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine: A History of Settler Colonialism and Resistance, 1917-2017 by Rashid Khalidi (2020)

Discussion Leaders: David Milne and Jon Allen

While the Palestine question is invariably front-page news, we have an urgent need for a good historical account of the origins and history of this protracted Middle Eastern conflict.  In this compelling work of scholarship and personal history, Rashid Khalidi provides a narrative framework for understanding the roots and contours of this evolving geopolitical malady.  Told from a learned Palestinian perspective and from and important family autobiographical lens, this is already a classic in the literature. Khalidi is the Edward Said Professor of Modern Arab Studies at Columbia University (Available in all formats; 319 pages)
