Palestine : political reflections, 1945-54

شيحا، ميشال، 1891-1954 author

Overview

\"This collection of Chiha's reflections spans the volatile years of 1944-54, and the establishment of the State of Israel in 1949: a time when many of the seeds of modern conflict were sown. Although at times provocative, Chiha's writings retain at heart his staunch advocacy of an open, liberal and cosmopolitan culture, and the economic fruits that flourish in such an environment.\" \"Lebanese - and ardently patriotic - Chiha provides a candid analysis of Lebanon's shortcomings, often tracing these to the partition of Palestine in 1949, and the creation of its Zionist state. Chiha was one of the earliest critics of US foreign policy, writing in 1948: 'America continues to bring its considerable weight to bear in influencing countries for the benefit of Israel.' The pieces collected in Palestine reveal a writer at his freshest, his relevance undimmed by the passing of over half a century.\"--Jacket
