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]

Printing

The first edition was published by Dar al-Tali'ah in Beirut in 1965. In 1973, the University Students Association in the Hebron Governorate, in collaboration with Dar al-Tali'ah, reprinted it.[10] Subsequent volumes of the work were published by the author between 1976–1986.[11]

All 11 volumes were republished together in 2018 by the Institute for Palestine Studies, with an introduction by Walid Khalidi.[2]
