In this book, Martin Bunton focuses on the way in which the Palestine Mandate was part of a broader British imperial administration - a fact often masked by Jewish immigration and land purchase in Palestine. His meticulous research reveals clear links to colonial practice in India, Sudan, and Cyprus amongst other places. He argues that land officials' views on sound land management were derived from their own experiences of rural England, and that this was far more influential onthe shaping of land policies than the promise of a Jewish National Home.Bunton reveals how the British were intent on preserving the status quo of Ottoman land law, which (when few Britons could read Ottoman or were well grounded in its legal codes) led to a series of translations, interpretations, and hence new applications of land law. The sense of importance the British attributed to their work surveying and registering properties and transactions, is captured in the efforts of British officials to microfilm all of their records at the height of the Second WorldWar. Despite this however, land policies remained in flux.

A seminal work on the history and sociology of land ownership and distribution in Palestine, written by two renowned scholars of agricultural economics and social theory. Ettinger and Oppenheimer analyze the historical, legal, and economic factors that have shaped the complex and often contested system of land tenure in Palestine, with a focus on the pre-1948 era. Their book offers a sophisticated and nuanced perspective on a crucial issue in Middle Eastern politics and society.

Excerpt from Land Tenure in Palestine The present work is the first of a series of popular scientific monographs, published by the Head Office of the Jewish National Fund, upon the problems of colonisation in Palestine, which the National Fund is called upon to help in solving. The Jewish National Fund (Keren Kajemeth Le Jisroel) was called into existence on December 30th, 1901, by the Fifth Zionist Congress at Basle, for the purpose defined as follows: "The Jewish National Fund shall be an inalienable possession of the Jewish people, which shall be exclusively devoted solely to the purchase of land in Palestine and Syria." Since that time the National Fund has acquired considerable strength. In the year 1913 its revenue amounted to a million francs; after a passing decline in the first period of the war, it again amounted to a million francs; and in the first seven months of the year 1917, it likewise reached this total. At the time of its establishment it was contemplated that the National Fund should proceed to the task of purchasing land as soon as it would have a capital of 5 million francs. But already the Sixth Zionist Congress, held in 1903 at Basle, found itself compelled to begin immediately with the purchase of land; and it was therefore resolved and laid down by Statute that one-fourth of the capital of the National Fund must remain an inviolable reserve. The settlement work begun a few years later in Palestine by the Jewish National Fund, which has thus lasted hardly ten years, is fully described in the Reports of the National Fund Executive to the Congresses, as well as in numerous publications. But it may here be pointed out that the capital hitherto invested by the National Fund in Palestine has reached the total of more than 4,500,000 francs. In the course of its development the National Fund has not only increased its resources in a gratifying manner, but it has also been extended by the affiliation of new funds. To the fund originally decided upon for the purchase of land there have been added funds for plantations, for workmen's dwellings, and for co-operative settlement. The National Fund is thus rightly regarded as the most important instrument of national colonisation, and it is therefore justifiable to inquire what principles it should follow in its settlement policy. The questions connected with the work in Palestine are constantly becoming more numerous and complicated.

This book examines how Israeli land policy today inhibits access to land for its own Arab citizens even within the 1948 boundaries of the state of Israel. Its authors explore the system of land ownership, the acquisition and administration of public land, and the control of land use through planning and housing regulations. They argue that the law is used to discriminate against non-Jewish citizens and restrict Israeli Palestinians' access to land, and that Israeli land policies breach international human rights standards which could be used as a basis to challenge discriminatory policies.

A fundamental aspect of the conflict between Palestinians and Israelis is the territorial dispute which began long before the State of Israel was established. Analysing the land tenure system in Palestine under the administration of the British Mandate, this book questions whether, and to what extent, the land tenure system in Palestine facilitated Zionist land acquisition. The research uses benchmarks elaborated in the guidelines of the United Nations Human Settlements Programme as its analytical starting point, and looks at the formation and implementation of the land tenure system in Palestine. It goes on to place the penetration of Zionism into the land tenure system within the theoretical context of a colonial-settler framework, employing information from land registry records located at the Jordanian Department of Lands. Providing a political-historical analysis of the land tenure system from the end of Ottoman Rule until the end of the British Mandate, this book will be of interest to scholars and students of Middle Eastern History, Imperial and Colonial History, and Middle Eastern Politics.
