The People of Palestine An enlarged edition of "The Peasantry of Palestine, Life, Manners and Customs of the Village"

"The People of Palestine" by Elihu Grant is a book that looks closely at the cultural and social aspects of Palestinian life in the early 1900s. The book tells about the customs, social organization, and way of life of the Palestinian people, with a main focus on those living in villages and the things that make them unique. The goal of this book is to help readers understand the mix of old traditions and new changes in Palestinian society. At the beginning, the book describes the lands and culture of Western Palestine, pointing out the different environments, farming methods, and historical importance of the area. Readers get a clear picture of the life of the peasant farmers as the book explains how closely they are connected to the land, how important the seasons are to them, and how religious customs affect their everyday activities. This introduction gives readers the basic knowledge they need to understand how the land not only provides a living for the Palestinian people but also shapes who they are.
