PALESTINIAN COSTUME By Shelagh Weir *very good condition*

Description: This book is a fascinating time capsule into different aspects of life, traditions, and cross-cultural communication between Palestine and other parts of the Levant and the Arab World. Because Weir started her research in the 1960s, she managed to document many first-hand accounts from people that lived during the British mandate period, prior to the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 and the displacement of the Palestinian peoples. Since then, many of these villages have been depopulated, and the families that once lived there and their traditions and festivities are long gone, but thanks to Weir’s meticulous research and efforts, we get to know some of their names, some of their stories, some of what they valued most, and some of what they once wore. Weir has helped preserve and honour a priceless piece of our shared human history. Very good condition. Exceptional photos.
