The Population of Palestine: Population History and Statistics of the Late Ottoman Period and the Mandate

By: Justin McCarthy

This book utilizes the official statistics of the Ottoman government and British Mandate to establish what the actual facts about the Palestinian population were. It presents a detailed statistical picture of the inhabitants of Palestine in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, including fertility and mortality rates, and Jewish and Arab immigration figures. The Population of Palestine offers invaluable information and analysis, much of which is unavailable elsewhere, clarifying crucial questions about the history of Palestine prior to the creation of Israel.
