دليل فلسطين

Description

By Mariam Shahin

A guide to Palestine that treats the place as somewhere you visit rather than only somewhere you read about — the towns, the villages, the cities and the refugee camps, described one region at a time.

The history runs from antiquity to the present, and alongside it sit shorter pieces on the things a gazetteer usually leaves out: poetry and literature, customs and jewellery, cooking and music. Jerusalem gets a section of its own, the refugee camps are covered rather than skirted, and there is practical visitor information throughout. Illustrated with colour photographs and maps. 488 pages.
