Customer Reviews

Wonderful Guide!

This guide gives an honest look at travel through Israel and the West Bank for those seeking to learn about the culture, homeland, and people of Palestine.

An excellent guidebook

This book was a wonderful asset during our visit to Palestine. It provided a needed historical/cultural background in a setting where history is being brutally erased by colonial powers and difficult to find. It is well documented and beautifully illustrated, I strongly recommend it!

Excellent guide

This was an excellent guide to Palestinian culture during our travels to Palestine this summer. I highly recommend it for travel or for insight into Palestinian culture.

Rich land and people

Palestine is a thick and juicy travel book. It is rich in the arts, in architecture, in culture. It is a journey through history, through the land and the people of Palestine and Gaza - with an array of visual feasts in Azar's photography. If you have never been to these places, this book will give substance to sound bites and media clips, and may entice you to look more closely. If you enjoy photography, travel, cultural studies, literature, conflict studies, cooking, textiles, or dancing this is the perfect book for you. The appendices are full of information for travel as well as a listing of hotels and restaurants, as well as resources for refugees (and others) including NGO's and local community organizations. Palestine a Guide is more than a travel book. It is a book of love and beauty.
