Know about the book -

The Canaanites and Their Land is written by Niels Peter Lemche and published by Sheffield Academic Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1850753105 (ISBN 10) and 9781850753100 (ISBN 13).

It is an interesting consequence of the new reconstructions of the early history of Israel that the Israelites must originally have been Canaanites. Nevertheless, an outspoken hatred against Canaanites permeates the Old Testament. Lemche presents a new way of explaining the anti-Canaanite sentiments of the Old Testament historians, while at the same time disclosing some of the aims and ideas which governed Old Testament history writing.
