A conversation with prominent Palestinian historian and cartographer Salman Abu-Sitta about his recently published book “Atlas of Palestine 1871 - 1877.” The book represents the most up-to-date maps and facts about Palestine and its inhabitants in the late 19th century well before the start of the Zionist movement and its colonization of the Palestinian homeland.

Salman Abu Sitta is the founder and president of the Palestine Land Society, London, dedicated to the documentation of Palestine’s land and People. He is the author of six books on Palestine including the compendium “Atlas of Palestine 1917- 1966,” English and Arabic editions, the "Atlas of the Return Journey" and over 300 papers and articles on the Palestinian refugees, the Right of Return, and the history of al Nakba and human rights. He is credited with extensive documentation and mapping of Palestine's land and people over 40 years. His widely acclaimed memoir "Mapping my Return" describes his life in Palestine and his long struggle as a refugee to return home.
