Drawing on original Ottoman documents, Rediscovering Palestine examines Jabal Nablus between 1700 and 1900. It challenges standard narratives by foregrounding the lived experiences of merchants, peasants, and local officials.

The book explores how merchant families built trade networks, cultivated political influence and navigated European economic expansion. Their entrepreneurial strategies transformed regional commerce under Ottoman rule.

It also uncovers peasant perspectives on identity, justice and authority, revealing the social fabric of this agricultural heartland. By weaving urban and rural voices, it offers a nuanced view of community dynamics.
