The Persistence of the Palestinian Question - Essays on Zionism and the Palestinians (Paperback, New edition)

In this new work, Joseph Massad presents a number of stimulating essays on Zionism and Palestinian nationalism. They are primarily concerned with the ideological underpinnings of the former, through race and culture and the Palestinian response and national agenda. Also examined is the role of gender, the holocaust, the refugee question, the peace process and its impact on Palestinian politics. The book is primarily concerned with the centrality of the Jewish question and its overlap with the Palestinian question. It is divided into two sections: part one includes essays on Zionist ideology and Palestinian nationalism, while part two includes essays on the origins of the peace process and its transformation of the Palestinian political field. The essays, which have been previously published in a variety of academic journals, are brought together with a new, fresh introduction. 'Massad is no practitioner of political correctness and one may not agree with everything he says. But his critique of Zionist ideology and practise is thoroughly researched, powerfully argued and often brilliantly insightful.' - Walid Khalidi, formerly of Harvard University, USA 'Joseph Massad's The Persistence of the Palestinian Question insightfully probes contemporary politics within a broader historical framework. Looking into the contradictions around and within Palestine, the essays illuminate the complex shaping of the diverse and even conflicting Palestinian positions. This timely and engaging volume makes an invaluable contribution to the ongoing debate over Zionism and Palestine.' - Ella Shohat, New York University, USA 'This is a thought provoking book that forces us to reverse our conventional imagesand perceptions about Palestine's history and future. This is a courageous intellectual exercise, long needed, in an often overburdened and repetitive field of inquiry.' - Ilan Pappe, University of Haifa, Israel
