- A History of False Hope covers a century of Palestinian political and social history. It results from decades of methodologically innovative research including in-depth ethnographic fieldwork in the occupied Palestinian territory (from 2000), and follow-on interviews with legal practitioners, politicians, diplomats, military experts and human rights activists in Palestine, Israel, the US, and the UK. It examined 21 distinct archives and seven newspapers located in these countries drawing on primary and secondary sources in English and Arabic. The book provides a novel anthropological perspective on lived liberalism and international law, while engaging with critical legal scholarship, history, and political theory.
