'This is the first book to be dedicated to the history of Palestine during the seminal period after the 1908 Revolution, when important developments in terms of the press, education, the evolution of national feeling and infrastructural development, took place. It thus sheds light on an important era that has not been adequately covered in any previous work of history. Equally importantly, this book provides an entirely fresh approach, covering a broad range of key subjects related to this tumultuous time in Palestinian history. I strongly recommend this book.' - Rashid Khalidi, Edward Said Professor of Arab Studies, Department of History, Columbia University; 'This book presents cogently the various perceptions of the Young Turk political, economic, social and cultural policies, as applied in Palestine, as well as the varied responses of the local populations: Muslim and Christian Palestinians, Jews, Armenians and others. This impressive volume that provides valuable insights into the forces of change that have shaped Palestine during this troubled period should be of interest to historians, political scientists, economists and all those interested in cultural developments in the Ottoman state in general, and in the history of late Ottoman Palestine in particular.' - Jacob M. Landau, Professor Emeritus, The Department of Political Science, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
