The Revolution of 1936-1939 in Palestine - Paperback
by Ghassan Kanafani (Author), Layan S. Fuleihan (Author), Maher Al-Charif (Author)
A radical analysis of Palestinian resistance from one of their most influential voices.
Revisit Ghassan Kanafani's pivotal text in a new English edition. Kanafani presents a concrete analysis of the mass uprisings against Zionism, and for independence from British colonialism, taking place in Palestine from 1936 to 1939. With a methodical yet illustrative approach, Kanafani examines the economic, political, social, and cultural conditions that contributed to, and limited, the anti-colonial struggle in this period.
Translated by Hazem Jamjoum, with an introduction from Layan Sima Fuleihan and an afterword from Maher Charif
