Is Yehoshua Porath, The Palestinian Arab National Movement, 1929-1939 (1977). He brings in all the earlier history, despite the title.

More recent: Norman G. Finkelstein, Image and Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict, 2002, (p21-50).

I'm not aware of any (serious) person who says that "every single Palestinian" has "generational rights" to the land of mandate Palestine. Certainly those that lived there for centuries do have as much as a right as you or I have to live in our respective countries. Others have less of a "right", although those numbers are extremely minor, and barely above statistical error.

Regardless, I don't think there is much to be gained from debating who has a "right" to the land. There are claims, which naturally have to be evaluated on their merits.
