| Sommario/riassunto: | Irit Amit-Cohen explores the riddle behind disappearing citrus orchards and plantations from Israel's coastal scenery. The book reveals the biographies of entrepreneurs who came to Palestine in the 1920's and 1930's. Exposing the uniqueness of the plantation companies, describing the figures involved in them and analyzing their contribution to forming Palestine's settlement landscape in the British Mandate period, this book relates the intimate narrative of settlements which were built as temporary structures, but still leave lasting imprints on the landscape. |
