Gaza has been fought over by Pharaohs, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Crusaders, Ottomans and the British, and this history picks up that record in the mid-nineteenth century and carries it to the present day.
Hemmed in by the Mediterranean on one side and desert on the others, the territory has been both bitterly contested and steadily overlooked across its long existence. This tenth anniversary edition extends the account past 2011 and into the period after October 2023, tracing how the strip moved to the centre of Palestinian national history after 1948 and back into world politics since. It took the Middle East Monitor Palestine Book Award and was named a book of the year by the Guardian.
Scope of this history:
• Continuous coverage from the mid-nineteenth century through to recent years
• Gaza's place in Palestinian nationalism and history after 1948
• Updated material carrying the account beyond 2011 and past October 2023
• Middle East Monitor Palestine Book Award winner, praised for its research
For readers of Middle Eastern history, students of the region and anyone wanting a documented account rather than commentary, available at Boipoka.
