  Book Description
  Histories of Palestine in
the pre-1948 period usually assume the emergent Arab-Zionist conflict to be the central axis around which all change
revolves. In Land of Progress Jacob Norris suggests an alternative historical vocabulary is needed to broaden our
understanding of the region's recent past. In particular, for the architects of empire and their agents on the ground,
Palestine was conceived primarily within a developmental discourse that pervaded colonial practice from the turn of the
twentieth century onwards. A far cry from the post-World War II focus on raising living standards, colonial development
in the early twentieth century was more interested in infrastructure and the exploitation of natural resources.
 

  Land of Progress charts this process at work across both the Ottoman and British periods in Palestine, focusing
on two of the most salient but understudied sites of development anywhere in the colonial world: the Dead Sea and Haifa.
Weaving the experiences of local individuals into a wider narrative of imperial expansion and anti-colonial resistance,
Norris demonstrates the widespread excitement Palestine generated among those who saw themselves at the vanguard of
progress and modernisation, whether they were Ottoman or British, Arab or Jewish. Against this backdrop, Norris traces
the gradual erosion during the mandate period of the mixed style of development that had prevailed under the Ottoman
Empire, as the new British regime viewed Zionism as the sole motor of modernisation. As a result, the book's latter
stages relate the extent to which colonial development became a central issue of contestation in the struggle for
Palestine that unfolded in the 1930s and 40s.
  
  Review
  A must-read book that may or may not convince the reader but will
certainly instigate a healthy debate. Roberto Mazza, Middle Eastern Studies 

 
  Jacob Norris should be congratulated for having written an outstanding book, full of welcome revisionist
insight and backed up by an impressive breadth and depth of knowledge. Fredrik Meiton, Arab
Studies Quarterly 
  
  Land of Progress is a significant contribution to the growing body of
scholarship emphasizing continuities from the Ottoman period to de-construct the ethno-national conflict intensifying
under the auspices of the British Empire. Max Reibman, Journal of Levantine
Studies
