Description

The Question of Palestine

The book has been translated by palestine-studies

This original and deeply provocative book was the first to make Palestine the subject of a serious debate–one that remains as critical as ever.

With the rigorous scholarship he brought to his influential Orientalism and an exile’s passion (he is Palestinian by birth), Edward W.

Said traces the fatal collision between two peoples in the Middle East and its repercussions in the lives of both the occupier and the occupied–as well as in the conscience of the West.

He has updated this landmark work to portray the changed status of Palestine and its people in light of such developments as the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, the intifada, the Gulf War, and the ongoing MIddle East peace initiative.

For anyone interested in this region and its future, The Question of Palestine remains the most useful and authoritative account available.

Said’s controversial but instructive Palestinian interpretation of the Mideast conflict now includes a new introduction and epilogue commenting on the intifada , Gulf war and Madrid peace talks.
