Seyed Hadi Borhani is Assistant Professor at the University of Tehran, Iran. He has published in the Journal of Holy Land and Palestine Studies and completed his PhD at the European Centre for Palestine Studies at the University of Exeter, UK.

This is an overdue and brilliant research into the battle of narratives on Palestine in Western Europe. Textbooks and educational curricula have for decades been loyal to the Israeli narrative and ignored the Palestinian suffering and struggle since 1948. This is a highly professional and incisive analysis of how knowledge production in West Europe shapes the power relations on the ground in Palestine. A must read for educationalists, academics at all levels and the wider audience who care about Palestine and the Palestinians.
