Nur’s exploration of this rich history reveals to us the wealth and complexity of the culture of Palestine and reclaims its history as an al-Andalusian model of cultural and religious Convivencia.’
‘Taking us through a tour du force of 4000 years of Palestine he reveals to the reader a rich and multi-layered history of literacy, learning and education embedded in a fabric of culturally and religiously diverse society. Nur’s exploration of this rich history reveals to us the wealth and complexity of the culture of Palestine and reclaims its history as an al-Andalusian model of cultural and religious Convivencia.’
"This is a truly magnificent and revealing work. It will hopefully destroy once and for all the inane myths about literacies and education intended to belittle Palestinian millennial achievements in these fields. In reminding us of these achievements, debunking suspect 'regimes of truth' and unearthing subjugated (deliberately?) knowledge, the book is an exercise in cognitive justice on behalf of an oppressed people...genealogically sound and convincing."
'In this ground-breaking study, Nur Masalha brilliantly traces the pedagogical and intellectual beginnings, evolution and multifaceted histories of Palestinian learning, literacy and education. Masalha’s exciting book deepens and broadens our understanding of oral representation, textuality and written literacy in modern and ancient Palestine. Drawing on a rigorous intellectual and historical framework, Masalha dismantles mainstream Zionist propaganda and its patronizing myths of cultural and educational superiority.'
Professor Nur Masalha is a Palestinian writer, historian and academic.
