Summary "The People of Palestine" by Elihu Grant is a detailed cultural and sociological examination written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the lives, customs, and social structures of the Palestinian people, particularly focusing on village life and the unique characteristics of its inhabitants. This book provides insight into the interplay of traditional and modern influences within Palestinian society. The opening of the text sets the stage for an exploration of the geographical and cultural landscape of Western Palestine. Grant describes the diverse environment, the agricultural practices, and the historical significance of the region. He paints a vivid picture of life as experienced by the peasants, particularly illustrating their connection to the land, the importance of seasonal changes, and the impact of religious customs on daily routines. This preliminary chapter aims to provide readers with a foundational understanding of how the landscape shapes not only the livelihoods but also the identities of the Palestinian people.
