Opis

This book examines the nature of the single state alternative, as a movement of resistance, and investigates its potential to become a counterhegemonic force against the processes of Zionism as embedded within the Israeli-Palestinian peace process since Oslo.

Recenzje

"Hussein’s argument has an internal harmony.Her case’s components fit tightly together with cumulative force... Her vigorously argued case-filled as it is with detail, demanding exegesis, logical firmness, and effective repetition of earlier points—succeeds overall. She is an activist, very much so, and lives up to the image of the organic intellectual that she invokes in more scholarly fashion in the pages of her book."
Timothy Brennan, University of Minnesota, USA in Journal of Palestine Studies
