The social roots of the Nakba

This book refutes the myth of Palestinians abandoning their lands to the Zionists through an in-depth study of Arab patterns of ownership and production and the nature of the economic relationship between the state and society in Palestine during the Ottoman era and the British Mandate period after World War I, and finally the Zionist infiltration into Arab lands since the late 19th century and the role of British colonialism in preparing the political, economic, and social infrastructure of Palestinian lands for Zionism before the Nakba.
