Rosemary Sayigh's "The Palestinians" is a classic of radical history. Through extensive interviews with Palestinians in refugee camps, she provides a deeply-moving, grassroots story of how the Palestinians came to be who they are today. In their own voices, Palestinians tell stories of the Nabka and their flight from their homeland. Sayigh's powerful account of Palestinians' economic marginalisation, the social and psychological effects of being uprooted, and the political oppression which they have faced continues to resonate today."--Back cover.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>As the Israel-Palestine conflict rages on, it is more important now than ever to understand the history of the Palestinian people.
