Specifikacia Palestine Across Millennia: A History of Literacy, Learning and Educational Revolutions Masalha Nur
Palestine, of all countries on earth, is one of the most densely saturated places of cultural and religious significance. But its remarkable history of scholarship and education has been overlooked and replaced by the perception - often advocated by Zionist narratives - that for centuries the country was a 'black hole' of nothingness, devoid of literacy and education.In this magisterial cultural history of the Palestinians, Nur Masalha illuminates the entire history of Palestinian learning with specific reference to writing, education, literary production and the intellectual revolutions in the country. The book introduces this long cultural heritage to demonstrate that Palestine was not just a 'holy land' for the four monotheistic religions - Islam, Christianity Judaism and Samaritanism - rather, the country evolved to become a major international site of classical education
