Western writings on Palestine

August 12, 2006

Thanks to Google Books, I found some at least entertaining travelogues of Palestine from times bygone. Just in case we needed a reminder of the trouble orientalism had caused: "Just outside the town, under a clump of tamarisk-trees sat a group of dirty-looking Arabs, in pictureque rags. As we passed, they rose from their stony seats, and advanced toward us, holding out little tin cups for alms." (Pg 32, Domestic Life in Palestine, Pub. 1865). Still, they're quaint and sad reads into a country that once was and will be again.
