Our Country Palestine is a book written by Mustafa Murad Al-Dabbagh, compiling information about all regions of Palestine in 11 volumes.[1][2][3] It has been described as a geographic encyclopedia.[4]
Importance
It is considered an important reference documenting information about Palestinian settlements.[5][6][7] Our Country Palestine describes all the population centers, villages and ruins in the nineteenth century.[8]
In Palestinian Village Histories, Rochelle Davis characterizes the book as a valuable source but potentially lacking in detail about the social histories of the settlements it outlines.[9]
