このコンテンツについて

The Gaza Strip is one of the most widely-reported on regions in the world—yet misinformation about its history and its people abound. In this vital book, historian Anne Irfan explains Gaza’s outsized political significance through six pivotal moments in its modern history, beginning with Israel’s expulsion of the Palestinian people upon its establishment in 1948, when the Gaza region was truncated to the “strip” we know today. As she takes us through Israel’s occupation of Gaza, the Palestinian national struggle and formation of the PLO, the first intifada, the creation of the Palestinian Authority and the rise of Hamas, she tackles widespread historical ignorance and untangles contradicting narratives.

Drawing on a decade of research, Irfan weaves in the voices of everyday Palestinians, from farmers and teachers to poets and activists. Written with remarkable clarity and compassion, A Short History of the Gaza Strip is an indispensable read for anyone seeking to understand Palestine today.

批評家のレビュー

‘An excellent primer . . . essential reading for those hungry to know more about this ancient territory so as to better understand the current, desperate chapter in its history’

(William Dalrymple)
‘Written with passion, precision and clarity’
‘The restrained clarity of this work provides a much-needed perspective on this fraught and bloody moment in history’
‘In A Short History of the Gaza Strip, Irfan, an academic at London’s University College, explains the pressures building up to the explosion of violence’
‘Readers seeking context to the awful headlines from the region should seek out this thought-provoking book. Robust research underpins this judicious record of Palestinian life’
‘A timely, short, highly informative history that is sure to dispel many of the misconceptions and misinformation circulating and currently widespread about Gaza. It will remind readers of what the area was like and what was lost in the course of Israel's aggression, as well as recognizing Gaza's resilience. It could also help bring to the mind of readers the Gaza that was’ (Raja Shehadeh, author of What Does Israel Fear From Palestine?)
‘In lean and unsparing prose, Anne Irfan exposes the history of occupation and oppression that explains the tragedy of Gaza from 1948 to the present day. A brilliant book that will inform debate and make clear to policy makers how Gaza’s future must in no way resemble its recent past’ (Eugene Rogan, author of The Arabs: A History)
‘In this stunning book, Anne Irfan contextualizes the violence unfolding in Gaza today without losing sight of the humanity of Palestinians. She describes the horrors of history with a nuanced kindness and reminds us that these events are not all that matter – because the Palestinian people that experienced them matter too’ (Nadya Hajj, author of Networked Refugees)
‘Beautifully written, erudite, humane: an essential guide to understanding the way the Israeli settler colonial project in and around Gaza has evolved into a brutal genocide’ (Eyal Weizman, author of Hollow Land: The Architecture of Israel's Occupation)
‘An incredible, informative and powerful book. It tells us that you can’t understand the current destruction of Gaza without going back to the beginning and then does exactly that, in such a readable and devastating way’ (Rachel Shabi, author of Off-White: The Truth About Antisemitism)
‘An excellent primer . . . essential reading for those hungry to know more about this ancient territory so as to better understand the current, desperate chapter in its history’

(William Dalrymple)
‘The restrained clarity of this work provides a much-needed perspective on this fraught and bloody moment in history’
