"This Handbook of nearly thirty chapters is an immensely significant contribution to studies of Palestine the country, if not yet the modern state. Divided into four sections – a historical section; a social, geographical, and economic section; a third section on contemporary politics; and a final section on Palestinian culture – this Handbook addresses both orthodox as well as critical scholarship on Palestine and its people. It places Palestine and its history, particularly from the late nineteenth century, in a more central position to understand the political dynamics between Jewish nationalism (Zionism) and Palestinian nationalism, between settler colonialism and autochthonous awakening, and between different forms of social activism. This is a publication of immense importance for those who wish to have a more nuanced and critical understanding of contemporary Palestinian / Israeli struggles, and the significance of the 75 year Nakba."Dawn Chatty, Emeritus Professor of Anthropology and Forced Migration, University of Oxford, UK"As a political scientist and historian, I am privileged to endorse the comprehensive Routledge Handbook on Palestine which portrays all aspects of the politics, geography, demography, culture, and civilization of people still struggling to attain freedom and independence. This Handbook is comprehensive and meticulously written by experts and scholars registering the details of a people's profile struggling force for the last 75 years under Israeli occupation. This Handbook is a significant reference to students of the Middle East and those of geopolitics and should be adopted as a textbook in all major universities worldwide. It is very comprehensive, accurate, coherent, and objective. The content of such a Handbook is admirable and appreciated, and it is rare in our Palestinian library. Therefore, its endorsement is well-deserved."Manuel Hassassian, Palestinian Ambassador to Denmark
