Its Name Is Palestine, Paperback Book, By: Goodrich Freier

Travel tends to expand concepts!" This is what A. Goodrich Freer confirms, who was keen to explore the "Holy Land" and its Arab people. Freer records her pilgrimage to the land of Palestine from the time she landed in the port of Jaffa, all the way to Jerusalem. How do the Arabs dress? What do they eat? What differences did she notice between the peasants and the Bedouins? And the classes of people in the cosmopolitan Palestinian cities such as Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Nablus? She also accurately and impartially recorded the role of the Ottoman Empire in providing all means of comfort and protection to Christian subjects, as well as its Muslim subjects. She did not neglect to clarify the clear rise in the influence of the Germans and their colonies and the Jews' quest to own land - especially agricultural land - in the land of Palestine. This book contains between its covers a testimony published for the first time, supported by a large group of rare photos of the people of Palestine practicing their lives between agriculture, herding and hunting, and their religious rituals in complete freedom.
