The Origins Of Palestinian Nationalism by Muhammad Y. Muslih
A scholarly study that traces the emergence of Palestinian national consciousness from the late Ottoman period through the British Mandate, arguing that modern nationalism arose out of social and economic transformations—urbanization, land sales, a growing commercial and professional middle class, and peasant unrest—combined with new institutions (press, schools, clubs) and debates over identity. It emphasizes how local notables, religious leaders and emerging civic organizations interacted with external pressures—Zionist immigration, Ottoman reform and British policies—to convert regional, religious and familial loyalties into a distinct political identity, and it analyzes the leadership, movements and events that crystallized Palestinian political mobilization in the early twentieth century.
