Global Palestine by John Collins
This book looks at how contemporary Palestine is shaped by both local and global processes.
'Global Palestine' tackles an obvious but understudied question: why is Palestine so internationally significant? The answers provided herein blend sharp analysis of global politics, deep knowledge of local struggles and transnational solidarity movements, and clear understanding of the ways in which the Israeli state wield its power at home and abroad-- Lisa Hajjar, Associate Professor of Sociology
'Global Palestine' offers a brilliant reading of the Palestine question, helping us to more fully understand both the operation of a necropolitical regime of surveillance, interdiction and control and a spirited and increasingly globalised resistance to it. Finding inspiration in the continuing Palestinian struggle for justice, this book is a fine example of intellectual precision and political commitment. -- Saree Makdisi, Professor of English and Comparative Literature, UCLA, and author of 'Palestine Inside Out: An Everyday Occupation'
'Global Palestine' is compellingly and clearly written. The fluidity is wonderful. . . . Theoretically sophisticated and very thoughtful -- Dr Laleh Khalili
