The Question of Palestine

The Question of Palestine by Edward W. Said is one of the foundational texts of Palestinian political thought — a comprehensive account of the Palestinian people, their history, their culture, and their dispossession, written by one of the twentieth century’s most important public intellectuals. Said brings to the Palestinian cause the same combination of historical scholarship, personal testimony, and moral clarity that define all his work, making the case for Palestinian rights not just politically but humanistically — as a question about what it means to recognise and respect a people’s existence and self-determination. Published by Vintage, this edition presents Said’s argument in full: as urgent, as carefully made, and as necessary as when it was first written.
