Description: Further DetailsTitle: The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem RevisitedCondition: NewFormat: HardbackEAN: 9780521811200ISBN: 9780521811200Publisher: Cambridge University PressRelease Date: 12/11/2003Description: Benny Morris' The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem was published in 1988. Its startling revelations about how and why 700,000 Palestinians left their homes and became refugees during the Arab-Israeli war in 1948 undermined traditional interpretations as to whether they left voluntarily or were expelled as part of a systematic plan. This book represents a revised edition of the earlier work, compiled on the basis of newly-opened Israeli military archives. While the focus remains the 1948 war and the analysis of the Palestinian exodus, the new material contains more information about what happened in Jerusalem, Jaffa and Haifa, and how events there led to the collapse of Palestinian urban society. It also sheds light on the battles and atrocities that resulted in the disintegration of rural communities. The story is a harrowing one. The refugees now number four million and their existence remains a major obstacle to peace.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Width: 41mmItem Weight: 1140gAuthor: Benny MorrisGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, HistoryBook Series: Cambridge Middle East StudiesISBN-10: 0521811201Type: Israel & PalestineEdition: 2ndRelease Year: 2003 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
