The book explores political alternatives to mainstream nationalist
movements in Israel-Palestine. It focuses on four attempts to
challenge or modify the dominance of the Zionist movement and its
settlement project before and after 1948. These are: the
Palestinian Communist Party and the binationalist movement, both
operating during the British Mandate period. The efforts by
Palestinian citizens of Israel to challenge their conditions of
marginalization after 1948, and the radical antiZionist Matzpen
group, which operated from the early 1960s to the 1980s. In
addition to analyses of the shifting positions these movements
adopted in relation to Zionism, Arab nationalism and the Question
of Palestine, the book examines their perspectives regarding a set
of conceptual issues: colonialism and settlement, race/ethnicity
and class, and questions of identity, rights and power. In doing
that, it invokes comparisons to other historical cases of group
conflict, such as South Africa, in order to develop a broad
theoretical understanding of the issues raised by the discussion.
