Landmark political argument by Edward Said, laying out the case for Palestinian rights and self-determination for a Western audience largely unfamiliar with the Palestinian perspective. Said traces the history of Zionism and Palestinian dispossession, examines the relationship between the Palestinian national movement and Western imperialism, and addresses the political requirements for a just resolution. One of the most important and widely read texts on Palestinian rights in English. A foundational text for anyone seeking to understand the Palestinian political case for rights and self-determination, essential for students, advocates, and general readers engaging with the Palestinian question for the first time. Updated new edition, first edition published in 1979.
