Most people know about Palestinians.

Few know about Black Palestinians.

For centuries, Africans traveled to the Holy Land as pilgrims, scholars, merchants, soldiers, and settlers. Some came from Sudan, Chad, Nigeria, Senegal, Ethiopia, and other parts of Africa. Over generations, they established families, built communities, and became part of Palestinian society.

Today they are known as Afro-Palestinians or Black Palestinians—a little-known community whose story sits at the crossroads of Africa, the Middle East, religion, race, and politics.

In this groundbreaking book, Frederick Amakom uncovers the fascinating history of Africa's forgotten children in the Holy Land.

Discover:

* The African origins of Black Palestinians

* How African pilgrims and traders settled in Palestine

* The hidden role of slavery in Afro-Palestinian history

* The African Quarter of Jerusalem and its unique heritage

* Black Palestinian life in Jerusalem and Gaza

* Race, colorism, and discrimination within Palestinian society

* Afro-Palestinian participation in the Palestinian national struggle

* How Israel and the Palestinian conflict have shaped their lives

* The balance between African heritage and Palestinian identity

* The future of one of the Middle East's least understood communities

Drawing on history, oral traditions, migration patterns, political developments, and modern identity debates, THE BLACK PALESTINIANS reveals a story rarely told in mainstream discussions of either Africa or Palestine.

This is more than a book about race.

It is a story about migration, belonging, resilience, and the centuries-old connection between Africa and the Holy Land.

If you enjoy books about African history, the Middle East, hidden histories, race and identity, or the untold stories of forgotten peoples, this book will change the way you see Palestine forever.
