Within minutes, nine peace activists were dead, shot by the Israelis. Scores of others were injured. Within hours, outrage at Israel's action echoed around the world. Spontaneous demonstrations occurred in Europe, the United States, Turkey, and Gaza itself to denounce the attack. Turkey's prime minister described it as a \"bloody massacre\" and \"state terrorism.\" In these pages, a range of activists, journalists, and analysts piece together the events that occurred that May night.

Stephane Hessel, French ambassador, former French resistance fighter, and participant in the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights In Poetic Injustice, Remi Kanazi lines up his word soldiers and marches into the battle of identity, occupation, loss and exile. Stripping the spin and gloss from policies and politics, Kanazi volleys truths from his own life as a Palestinian-American and as a witness to the oppression and occupations, state terrorism and racism. A poet with immense power and bravery, he underlines each phrase, word and line with devotion.” Elmaz Abinader, Author, poet, and PEN Award winner\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAuthor: Remi Kanazi\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eSize: 56 pages + 15-track CD\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003ePublisher: LeftWingBooks\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"LeftWingBooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40175063793757,"sku":"9780615421667","price":27.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0826\/1213\/products\/large_709_poeticin_3_0.jpg?v=1654987153"},{"product_id":"the-palestine-communist-party-1919-1948-arab-and-jew-in-the-struggle-for-internationalism","title":"The Palestine Communist Party 1919-1948: Arab and Jew in the Struggle for Internationalism","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis history of the Palestinian Communist Party upends the caricature of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as an ancient religious blood feud.

Here is the editors' introduction to this issue:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWelcome to the first issue of \u003cem\u003eUpping the Anti\u003c\/em\u003e. We have been working on bringing you this issue since September of 2004. We have been torn between the desire to get something out according to our original timeline (February of 2005) in order to establish the journal as a timely and viable project, and our wish to produce the most politically relevant publication that we can. In this, our first issue of the journal, we feel that we have done our best to strike an appropriate balance between these two objectives. So here is Upping the Anti, our first effort in an ongoing project of trying to engage with and understand the political conjuncture facing radical activists in the Canadian state today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn every issue of the journal, we begin with an editorial in which we try to work out a collective perspective on pressing issues of the day. In this, our first editorial, we outline the impetus for the project, and reflect upon the strengths and limitations of such concepts as anti-capitalism, anti-oppression, and anti-imperialism in building new radical movements in Canada and internationally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe are very pleased to bring you two important interviews that we think will have relevance for activists seeking to understand past, present and future struggles. Grace Lee Boggs is a social justice activist who for the past six decades has paired tireless community organizing with a long-term commitment to reassessing and renewing radical ideas. She has worked with political figures such as Malcolm X, Kwame Nkrumah, CLR James, and Jimmy Boggs, as well as taking part in the civil rights and Black liberation movements. Our second interview is with Ward Churchill, an indigenous scholar and activist who is today the subject of a massive attack on academic freedom by neo-conservative forces in the United States. Churchill has tirelessly chronicled state repression and genocide in the Americas and brings an important perspective for people thinking about radical social change. We bring you an interview we did with him two years ago in which he speaks about the anti-globalization movement and the potential for effective resistance to the war at home and abroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the first of three essays in this issue of the journal, Gary Kinsman provides an introduction to autonomist Marxism and outlines how this current provides useful political tools for understanding and conceptualizing strategies of revolutionary change based on working class self-emancipation. In our next essay, Chris Hurl chronicles the development of the radical anti-capitalist wing of the anti-globalization movement and critically examines the concept of “diversity of tactics” as an approach to organizing. Finally, we reprint an essay by socialist feminist \u003ca data-lwsa=\"eyJhdXRvbGluayI6dHJ1ZSwiYXV0b19pZCI6IjkwMjMifQ==\" href=\"https:\/\/leftwingbooks.net\/collections\/all\/selma-james\" title=\"Selma James\"\u003eSelma James\u003c\/a\u003e, written some 30 years ago, that remains an important contribution to discussions taking place today around the intersections of race, gender and class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis issue also launches the first of a series of roundtable discussions with activists on specific issues of concern to radical movements. Sharmeen Khan brings together Gary Kinsman, Kirat Kaur, and Junie Désil to discuss the politics of “anti-oppression,” while Aidan Conway draws together a series of interviews on the “organizational question” with Robbie Mahood, Indu Viashistink, and Jeff Shantz who offer reflections from different Marxist and anarchist communist perspectives. In our next issue we look forward to bringing you other similar discussion forums looking at anti-war organizing, Palestinian solidarity activism, and advocacy and activism in defense of immigrants and refugees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe close with reviews of two important books, Judith Butler’s \u003cem\u003eUndoing Gender,\u003c\/em\u003e and Michael Hardt’s and Antonio Negri’s \u003cem\u003eMultitude\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cem\u003eUndoing Gender \u003c\/em\u003eis an important political contribution to debates and discussions taking place within the feminist and transgender movements, while Multitude is Hardt and Negri’s follow-up to their influential and controversial book Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe should stress that our approach to the project has not been to produce any kind of “party line” on the questions facing radical activists today. Instead, we see Upping the Anti as a space to discuss ideas currently being expressed and elaborated in contemporary social movements. In particular we want to explore what we see as emancipatory Marxist and anarchist contributions firmly grounded in feminist and anti-racist politics. In so doing, we are aware that a wide range of contrasting and even contradictory political ideas and approaches will be put forward in the pages of this journal. For example, in our interviews with Ward Churchill and Grace Lee Boggs, it is clear that there are a wide range of political questions upon which these two activists are divided, and we have our own disagreements with some of their perspectives. We do not share Grace’s enthusiasm for the potential of a revitalized wing of the Democratic Party in the US under the leadership of Dennis Kucinich, and we are skeptical of a number of Ward’s formulations regarding the nature of the revolutionary project in North America. However, we offer these divergent political opinions in the spirit of opening up principled discussion and debate on the radical left. We encourage you to write us letters, polemics and articles engaging with points of view that you find provocative, and to make a contribution to these debates. Our goal is to create a lively and non-sectarian forum for debate and a tool that can be appropriated and effectively used by those interested in rethinking how we organize and build effective radical movements for social change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn closing, we would like to thank all the members of our advisory board who have assisted us in the production of this first issue of the journal. We look forward to producing our next issue for Fall 2005 (the final deadline for submissions to the next issue is July 1, 2005).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn autonomy and solidarity,\u003cbr\u003e\nAidan C., Tom K., Sharmeen K.\u003cbr\u003e\nMarch 26, 2005.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Upping the Anti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40175085420637,"sku":"UTA 1","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0826\/1213\/products\/large_961_utaone3_0.jpg?v=1654987311"},{"product_id":"upping-the-anti-13-november-2011","title":"Upping The Anti #13 (November 2011)","description":"\u003cp\u003eNumber Thirteen (November 2011) of this movement journal of theory and practice from canada.

Inmany cities, the radical left remains suspicious of this development. However, if we are going to build on the opportunities presented to us, we must hone our collective capacity to analyze and respondto emergent situations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is where Upping the Anti fits in.

In our next two issues we will take up and examine the politics of “anti-capitalism” and “anti-imperialism” as part of our project of critiquing and developing our analysis of what we call the “three antis.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this issue we run three different sets of interviews with radical theorists and organizers. We talk about questions of class and power with Himani Bannerji, a Marxist and anti-racist feminist who has made important contributions to understanding and transforming the way we look at problems of oppression and domination. We also conclude our interview with Grace Lee Boggs, a Detroit community activist who talks about her experiences of organizing over the past six decades, her experience of figures such as Jimmy Boggs and CLR James, and her reflections of a lifetime of building political organizations. Our third interview concerns one of the most important education sector struggles to have occurred over the past several years in North America—the two hundred thousand strong strike by college and university students in Québec in the spring of 2005. We speak to Nicolas Phebus, a member of the Northeastern Federation of Anarchist Communists, who shares his analysis of this important struggle in Québec.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe article section begins with a piece by Tom Keefer in which he looks at the genealogy of “socialism from below,” and questions its usefulness in contributing to the renewal of socialist politics today. Taiaiake Alfred and Lana Lowe provide an outline of the historical and contemporary nature and role of indigenous warrior societies in First Nations communities and struggles in the Canadian context. We continue with a series of roundtables that bring together various activists struggling in a number of important campaigns. Mordecai Briemberg, Paul Burrows, Rafeef Ziadah, Adam Hanieh and Samer Elatrash explore the problems and opportunities confronting Palestinian solidarity activism today; Chris Arsenault, Mike DesRoches, Derrick O’Keefe, Andrea Schmidt, George ‘Mick’ Sweetman, Honor Brabazon \u0026amp; Jessie X. discuss their experiences of the Canadian antiwar movement; and Sarita Ahooja, Sima Zerehi and \u003ca data-lwsa=\"eyJhdXRvbGluayI6dHJ1ZSwiYXV0b19pZCI6IjkzNTkifQ==\" href=\"https:\/\/leftwingbooks.net\/collections\/all\/harsha-walia\" title=\"Harsha Walia\"\u003eHarsha Walia\u003c\/a\u003e talk about the state of immigrant and refugee solidarity activism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe final section of the journal consists of a series of reviews put together by our book reviews editor Dave Mitchell.

Copies of the journal were also distributed to several US-based political prisoners and prisoners of war, and we also take this opportunity to extend our greetings of solidarity to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith evidence in hand that a project such as ours can be financially sustainable and politically relevant, we are reprinting 1000 copies of our first issue and publishing this second issue in a perfect bound format with a print run of 2000 copies. As we prepare the third issue of the journal for publication in the spring of 2006 we welcome further assistance in helping to distribute the second issue of the journal even more widely than the first. To this end, we have put up a web page with an up to date list of local distributors from whom you can get hard copies of the journal. If you are interested in joining this list of distributors please e-mail us at uta_distro@yahoo.ca to make arrangements and to receive discounted bulk copies of the journal. We are also open to running exchange advertisements with other radical publications and catalogs. If you have a project that you would like to promote in Upping the Anti, or if you would like to publicize our journal please get in touch with us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCopies of the first issue of the journal remain available for download and distribution, and if you are using the PDF file of our first or second issue for distribution, we would appreciate a note from you letting us know where you are from and how you will be using the journal.

Of our seven editors, five were on strike for 85 days between November and February with the membership of CUPE Local 3903 at York University in Toronto. Fighting precarious work and the neoliberal university, we weathered an unmovable administration before being legislated back to work by the provincial government. This exhilarating but exhausting midwinter, three-month strike threatened to delay our production aims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNevertheless, as this issue came together, the editorial process revitalized our spirits, focused our goals and compelled us to publish something useful for future struggles. In our editorial, we engage with the challenges and opportunities that arise from the global economic crisis and the election of Barack Obama. Calling attention to the ways that politicians and economists are drawing on myth to reinvigorate capitalism, we consider the enduring question of hegemony. After evaluating some of the different orientations that today’s radicals adopt when approaching this question, we outline how the left might use myths to help constitute a broader collective and radical “we.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs always, we begin this issue with letters from our readers. Heather Hax and etienne turpin revisit the question of catastrophe in their responses to our last editorial (UTA 7). Reflecting on our interview with sex worker and organizer Kara Gillies, Simone Skye highlights the importance of adopting a labour perspective on sex work. Melissa Elliot responds to Tom Keefer’s article from last issue and offers a perspective on how non-native activists should relate to indigenous struggles. Finally, Greg Flemming responds to Neil Balan’s review of Žižek’s \u003cem\u003eDefense of Lost Causes\u003c\/em\u003e and Balan responds to Flemming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn our interviews section, Aidan Conway talks with leading Marxist thinkers David McNally, Leo Panitch, and Sam Gindin about their perspectives on the current economic crisis.

Finally, solidarity activist Shiri Pasternak reports on the ongoing struggles of the Algonquins of Barriere Lake (ABL).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur first roundtable discussion finds members of the Student Liberation Action Movement (SLAM) revisiting their organizing experiences in the 1990s at New York City’s Hunter College.

We would like to thank former editor Nicole Cohen for her significant contributions to the journal and are pleased that she remains an active Advisory Board member. Since 2005, we have published two journals each year, hosted public forums, and maintained an ongoing and improving web presence. We have done this with an all-volunteer collective of editors and advisory board members. Nevertheless, producing a journal is expensive and \u003cem\u003eUpping the Anti\u003c\/em\u003e is only made possible through your support. If you have not done so already, please consider subscribing to \u003cem\u003eUpping the Anti\u003c\/em\u003e. After all, nothing beats receiving mail! We are happy to announce that we now have a sustainer’s program whereby you can make monthly donations to the journal to ensure that we are able to continue publishing. Visit us online to get a subscription or to make a donation. All donations go directly to the production of the journal.

Here is the editors' introduction to this issue:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe can hardly believe it, but we’ve done it again. Welcome to the ninth issue of Upping the Anti, our latest contribution to the world of independent radical publishing. As soon as we’re done with one issue, another is in the works, and as usual, the challenges of producing a 200 page book twice a year are substantial. Independent publishing is precarious at the best of times, and because we’ve aimed big – by printing a journal with a circulation of 2,500 and cultivating distribution networks across the continent and beyond – we are no exception to the rule that radical publications need consistent and ongoing support from their readership. We have some new ideas about how to do that, but first let us update you on our changing editorial committee and the new issue. Founding editor Sharmeen Khan has reluctantly turned in her red pen and moved to the UTA advisory board, as has Erika Biddle.We thank both of them for their important contributions to the project. Editor AK Thompson has been on a leave of absence to complete his dissertation, and the work of getting this issue out has been greatly aided by the work of new editors David Hugill, Chandra Kumar, and Danielle O’Hearn. We also welcome Robyn Letson to our advisory board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs always, we begin this issue with interventions from our readers which support, challenge or complete content from past issues. We’re always soliciting feedback and critical dialogue in our pages so drop us a line if you’ve got some thoughts about issue nine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn our interviews section, Kelly Fritsch talks with disability, queer and trans activist, Eli Clare. Sharmeen Khan and Natalie Kouri-Towe interview leading scholar Sherene Razack about her book Casting Out: The Eviction of Muslims from Western Law and Politics (University of Toronto Press).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn our first article, Palestine solidarity activist Ben Saifer analyses the emergence and assesses the implications of Zionist-initiated “dialogue” efforts on Canadian university campuses. Next, Kate Milley examines the organization of anti-native activism in response to the struggles of the Six Nations people on the Haldimand tract, revealing the broader, deeply entrenched racism and colonial logic of Canadian society. Finally, Chris Hurl and Kevin Walby untangle common assumptions about student movement politics in their historical analysis of The Canadian Union of Students from 1965-1969.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur roundtables section begins with a tenth anniversary reflection on the mass mobilization against the World Trade Organization in Seattle in 1999. Contributors offer retrospective analyses of this pivotal moment of the anti-globalization movement. The second roundtable discussion addresses anti-Olympic organizing. We hear from activists preparing for the upcoming mobilizations against the Vancouver 2010 games, and from those who organized against the games in Salt Lake City, Turin, and Sydney.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book reviews section features Sean Benjamin’s review of Black Flame: The Revolutionary Class Politics of Anarchism and Syndicalism (AK Press), and Jeff Shantz’s review of The Red Army Faction, A Documentary History, Volume 1: Projectiles for the People (PM Press).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe hope you find Upping the Anti useful in your organizing work and research. If so, please support us as we face significant financial need. Very few radical publications are able to survive on subscriptions and sales alone and UTA has consciously chosen not to become dependent on government subsidies, grants, or foundation funding. To keep the journal affordable and truly independent, we need the support of our readers. If you have the means to help, we encourage you to join our online sustainers program. The wonders of the internet make it easy to support your most trusted projects; please go to http:\/\/uppingtheanti.org and become a monthly sustainer. We aim to have 100 sustainers by the end of 2009. If we succeed, we’ll have the financial security necessary to allow us to focus less on fundraising and more on bringing you the radical debate that is at the core of our effort. And if you’ve put off subscribing, wait no longer. Finally, we are always interested in connecting with activists who would like to distribute the journal. Bulk discounts are available, and if you feel like you could distribute 10 or more copies of each issue, please get in touch with us at uppingtheantidistro@gmail.com.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe are also happy to announce the launch of our new website thanks to the wonderful help of Christopher Dobbie.

And though it is filled with the grim reality of this long and deadly, ugly and dehumanizing, conflict, it also offers hope: that as more people awaken to the shocking reality of what has for decades been going on, we can bring understanding and restitution to the Palestinian people.

Boycott propaganda . . . currently being carried on against Germany . . . is in essence un-Zionist.\" Zionism became the only other legal political movement in the Nazi Reich. That same year, the World Zionist Organization (WZO) made the Ha'avara (Transfer) Agreement, undermining the boycott against Nazi Germany. German Jewish emigrants to Palestine had to buy Nazi goods that the WZO sold in the Middle East. In 1937 the Haganah (later the Israeli army) sent an agent to Berlin. They would provide spy intelligence if the Nazis further eased the monetary regulations for emigrants to Palestine. The Zionist-Revisionist movement (today the ruling Likud Party) set up a detachment at Mussolini's naval academy. He personally reviewed them in 1936. They wanted him to replace Britain as Zionism s patron. In 1941, the Fighters for the Freedom of Israel (later Likudniks) told the Nazis that they wanted a \"Jewish state on a national and totalitarian basis, bound by a treaty with the German Reich,\" and offered \"to actively take part in the war on Germany s side.\" This is the sordid history documented in Lenni Brenner's \u003cem\u003eZionism in the Age of the Dictators\u003c\/em\u003e.

He became an atheist at age ten, and a left political activist at fifteen. His involvement with the Black Civil Rights Movement began on his first day in the organized left, when he met James Farmer of the Congress of Racial Equality, later the organizer of the freedom rides of the early 60s. He was active in the mid 1950s with Bayard Rustin, later the organizer of Martin Luther King's 1963 I have a dream March on Washington. He was arrested three times during civil rights sit-ins in the San Francisco Bay Area. He spent thirty-nine months in prison when a court revoked his probation for marijuana possession, because of his activities during the 1964 Berkeley Free Speech Movement at the University of California. Immediately on imprisonment, he spent four days in intense discussion with Huey Newton, later the founder of the Black Panther Party, who he encountered in the court holding tank. Subsequently, upon his release in 1968, he worked with Kathy Cleaver and other Panthers. Brenner was an antiwar activist from the first days of the Vietnam war, speaking frequently at rallies in the Bay Area. In 1963 he organized the Committee for Narcotic Reform in Berkeley. In 1968 he co-founded the National Association for Irish Justice, the American affiliate of the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association. He worked with Kwame Ture (also known as Stokely Carmichael), the legendary Black Power leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, in the Committee against Zionism and Racism, from 1985 until Ture's death in 1998. Brenner is the author of four books: Zionism in the Age of the Dictators (1983), The Iron Wall: Zionist Revisionism from Jabotinsky to Shamir (1984), Jews in America Today (1986), and The Lesser Evil (1988), a history of the Democratic Party. In 2002 he edited 51 Documents: Zionist Collaboration with the Nazis, which contains complete translations of many of the documents quoted in Zionism in the Age of the Dictators and The Iron Wall. In 2004 he edited Jefferson \u0026amp; Madison On Separation of Church and State: Writings on Religion and Secularism. His books have been favorably reviewed in eleven languages by prominent publications, including the London Times, the London Review of Books, Moscow's Izvestia and the Jerusalem Post. Brenner has written over one-hundred articles for many publications, including New York's Amsterdam News, the Anderson Valley Advertiser, The Atlanta Constitution, CounterPunch, The Jewish Guardian, The Nation, The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, Middle East Policy, Middle East International, The Journal of Palestine Studies, The New Statesman of London, Al-Fajr in Jerusalem, and Dublin's United Irishman. In 2013, Brenner co-authored (with Matthew Quest) Black Liberation and Palestine Solidarity, a collection of selected essays discussing the historical response of African American freedom movements to the colonial settler state of Israel and its role in American imperialism in the Middle East.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAuthor: Lenni Brenner\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eISBN: 978-0985890995\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eSize: 346 pages\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003ePublisher: On Our Own Authority!\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eYear: 2014\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"On Our Own Authority!","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40175169142877,"sku":"9780985890995","price":30.8,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0826\/1213\/products\/zionismageofdictators.jpg?v=1654987758"},{"product_id":"on-shifting-ground-muslim-women-in-the-global-era","title":"On Shifting Ground: Muslim Women in the Global Era","description":"\"This book contains many thoughtful, highly relevant, and frequently brilliant essays on the contemporary ideas, organization, activities, and agency of Muslim women in several countries.\"—Nikki Keddie, professor emerita of Middle Eastern and Iranian history, University of California, Los Angeles\n\nHas Arab Spring made life better for Muslim women?

In the broad sweep of this one-of-a-kind dialogue, the contributors explore topics ranging from democratic confederalism to women’s revolution, from the philosophy of history to the crisis of the capitalist system, from religion to Marxism and anarchism, all in an effort to better understand the liberatory social forms that are boldly confronting capitalism and the state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere can be no boundaries or restrictions for the development of thought.

It will raise many hackles, but in its provocations it challenges one to rethink many of the standard cliché and prejudices of our time. Some pages are threaded with melancholy, others with anger, as in his white-hot assessment of the films of Michael Haneke and the books of his academic opponents. Above all, On Edward Said is powered by Dabashi's commitment to the ideal that 'Palestine belongs to the Palestinians—whether Jews, Christians or Muslims.' There is not a page in this book that does not challenge its reader. Whether one disagrees with it or not, this is a work that will leave its mark on all who read it.\" David Freedberg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"This remarkable collection of essays and interviews represents a long and diverse journey with a constant companion: the living memory of Edward Said. In lucid and passionate prose, Dabashi reminds us how much we need to return to Said's thought and work, especially in 'the darker moments of our despair,' when we can, if we concentrate, find him 'waiting for ... us to awake, to arrive.' This is how death, for Dabashi, becomes a form of suspension rather than a terminal loss.\" Michael Wood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAuthor: Hamid Dabashi\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eISBN: 9781642592733\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eSize: 250 pages\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003ePublisher: Haymarket Books\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eYear: 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Haymarket Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40175353626717,"sku":"9781642592733","price":27.93,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0826\/1213\/products\/on_edward_said.jpg?v=1654988806"},{"product_id":"palestine-a-socialist-introduction","title":"Palestine: A Socialist Introduction","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis edited volume makes an impassioned and informed case for the central place of Palestine in socialist organizing and of socialism in the struggle to free Palestine. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePalestine: A Socialist Introduction\u003c\/em\u003e systematically tackles a number of important aspects of the Palestinian struggle for liberation, contextualizing it in an increasingly polarized world and offering a socialist perspective on how full liberation can be won.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough an internationalist, anti-imperialist lens, this book explores the links between the struggle for freedom in the United States and that in Palestine, and beyond.

They accomplish this tremendous feat with moral clarity and analytical rigor. The volume provides the reader with an internationalist framework, defined as a commitment to anti-imperialism, and uses it to place Palestine into local, regional, and global historical context.

In moments where those who fight for freedom and equality triumph in their local battles around the world, we (Palestinians) see this as part of the victory in our battle for freedom in Palestine. Only through the strengthening of our civil society, of trade unions and workers, can we build our struggle against occupation and pressure Israel until it ends its project of colonialism and racial segregation.

From critical analysis of organizational matters to the very complex issues of gender and secularism, this book is a must read for anyone whose socialism has brought them to care and act on behalf of Palestine and the Palestinians. As a Left, we are at a crucial juncture of strategic contemplation in general and on Palestine in particular. This book offers ways forward that can re-energize the Left as a robust alliance of identification and solidarity for the sake of the liberation of Palestine as well as that of all the oppressed workers and peoples around the globe.” Ilan Pappé, author of \u003cem\u003eTen Myths About Israel\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Ten powerful essays, meticulously woven together by Sumaya Awad and brian bean, combine rich political history with incisive analysis of the current conjuncture and struggle.
