Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-86468-8 - A History of Modern Palestine: One Land, Two Peoples: Second edition Ilan Pappe Frontmatter More information A HISTORY OF MODERN PALESTINE Ilan Pappe’s history of modern Palestine has been updated to include the dramatic events of the s and the early twenty-first century. These years, which began with a sense of optimism, as the Oslo peace accord was being negotiated, culminated in the second intifada and the increase of militancy on both sides. Pappe explains the reasons for the failure of Oslo and the two-state solution, and reflects upon life thereafter as the Palestinians and Israelis battle it out under the shadow of the wall of separation. I P is Senior Lecturer in Political Science at the University of Haifa in Israel. He has written extensively on the politics of the Middle East, and is well known for his revisionist interpretation of Israel’s history. His books include The Making of the Arab–Israeli Conflict, – (/) and The Modern Middle East (). © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-86468-8 - A History of Modern Palestine: One Land, Two Peoples: Second edition Ilan Pappe Frontmatter More information © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-86468-8 - A History of Modern Palestine: One Land, Two Peoples: Second edition Ilan Pappe Frontmatter More information A HISTORY OF MODERN PALESTINE One Land, Two Peoples ILAN PAPPE University of Haifa, Israel © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-86468-8 - A History of Modern Palestine: One Land, Two Peoples: Second edition Ilan Pappe Frontmatter More information University Printing House, CambridgeiCB2i8BS,United Kingdom Cambridge University Press is part of the University of Cambridge. , It furthers the University s mission by disseminating knowledge in the pursuit of education, learning and research at the highest international levels of excellence. www.cambridge.org Information on this title: www.cambridge.org/9780521683159 © Ilan Pappe 2004, 2006 This publication is in copyright.
