<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>1. This book offers a serious and wide-ranging history of an intractable conflict. It reassesses the Arab-Israeli conflict by looking back to events in the 19th century and the earliest waves settlers.</p> <p>2. It uses a variety of primary sources from the settlers and their neighbors to show on a grassroots and human level how conflict developed, and it also gives new interpretations of the early attempts to define and analyze the conflict.</p> <p>3. Author Alan Dowty is a senior political scientist who is well-known for his explorations of the roots of the Arab-Israeli conflict.</p></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>When did the Arab-Israeli conflict begin? Some discussions focus on the 1967 war, some go back to the creation of the state of Israel in 1948, and others look to the beginning of the British Mandate in 1922. Alan Dowty, however, traces the earliest roots of the conflict to the Ottoman Empire in the 19th century, arguing that this historical approach highlights constant clashes between religious and ethnic groups in Palestine. He demonstrates that existing Arab residents viewed new Jewish settlers as European and shares evidence of overwhelming hostility to foreigners from European lands. He shows that Jewish settlers had tremendous incentive to minimize all obstacles to settlement, including the inconvenient hostility of the existing population. Dowty's thorough research reveals how events that occurred over 125 years ago shaped the implacable conflict that dominates the Middle East today.</p></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>The rigorous research and scholarly perspective of Alan Dowty's <i>Arabs and Jews in Ottoman Palestine</i> shines a light on issues of the Arab-Israel conflict that others have overlooked.</p>-- "Jewish Press.com"<br><br><p>A seminal work of impeccable and meticulous scholarship, <i>Arabs and Jews in Ottoman Palestine: Two Worlds Collide</i> by Professor Alan Dowty must be considered a core addition to community, college and university library Turkish, Palestinian, and Israeli history collections and supplemental studies curriculums.</p>-- "MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW"<br><br><p>Dowty's book will serve as an accessible and important work in the field of the history of the Yishuv during the Ottoman period and the early stages of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
