Palestine: A Socialist Introduction

Book Overview

Palestine: A Socialist Introduction systematically tackles a number of important aspects of the Palestinian struggle for liberation, contextualizing it in an increasingly polarized world and offering a socialist perspective on how full liberation can be won.
Through an internationalist, anti-imperialist lens, this book explores the links between the struggle for freedom in the United States and that in Palestine, and beyond. It examines both the historical and contemporary trajectory of the Palestine solidarity movement in order to glean lessons for today's organizers, and compellingly lays out the argument that, in order to achieve justice in Palestine, the movement has to take up the question of socialism regionally and internationally.
Contributors include: Jehad Abusalim, Shireen Akram-Boshar, Omar Barghouti, Nada Elia, Toufic Haddad, Remi Kanazi, Annie Levin, Mostafa Omar, Khury Petersen-Smith, and Daphna Thier.

Great book

Fantastic book - I had to read it for a class , very interesting perspectives - a very good read for anyone wanting to see the history through a socialist anti-imperialism lens. So important as the state of Israel was created during the imperial age.

Great dive into the historical context of socialism in Palestine

First heard of this book on the Upstream Podcast! Very glad I checked it out.
