This original and deeply provocative book was the first to make Palestine the subject of a serious debate--one that remains as critical as ever. With the rigorous scholarship he brought to his influential Orientalism and an exile's passion (he is Palestinian by birth), Edward W. Said traces the fatal collision between two peoples in the Middle East and its repercussions in the lives of both the occupier and the occupied--as well as in the conscience of the West. He has updated this landmark work to portray the changed status of Palestine and its people in light of such developments as the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, the intifada, the Gulf War, and the ongoing MIddle East peace initiative. For anyone interested in this region and its future, The Question of Palestine remains the most useful and authoritative account available.… (lisätietoja)

This is a long essay, and of a polemical nature. Nonetheless, there is a considerable amount of information to be mulled over. After a short survey of the Zionist movement and the province of the Ottoman Empire's province, Mr. Said discusses at length the difficulties that the Palestinian people have faced in their struggle to obtain a hearing in the west, and more especially in Washington. Sadly, the history of the area since the publication demonstrates how little impact the book was able to generate. ( )

I was first encouraged to read Said twelve years ago by a lecturer while doing a component of a history course on Islam at University. His works remain relevant and not outdated. I have been sympathetic to the plight of the Palestinian people for some time and this is a fine English work with which to communicate their struggle to a wider audience, particularly in the Western world, such as the USA. Said argues conclusively the raw deal that Palestinians have received since the creation of the state of Israel and how many of their diaspora continue to claim their nationality despite the dispossession of their homes that occurred after the creation of Israel. In addition he argues coherently that there needs to be a much greater balance in the reporting of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in the USA particularly from the Palestinian perspective. ( )

Thirty years old, but not out of date. Possibly the only work in English of what it's like to be on the receiving end of colonial invasion. Pretty much brilliant - only a few flaws (well I thought the bit about George Eliot was a digression). Should be compulsory reading. ( )

In this polemical essay, Edward Said, a Columbia professor and member of the Palestinian National Council, presents the Palestinian case to the American public--a follow-up to his general attack on the field of Middle East studies in Orientalism (1979). Charging inadequate coverage and media recognition as well as misrepresentation, Said--at times eloquent and erudite, at times propagandistic and convoluted--stresses the lack of direct communication between the Palestinians and the West. Palestinians like himself, he believes, should remind the world that the Palestinians will not simply disappear and that their situation as a dispossessed people must be faced equally with the Jewish holocaust. As Zionism and Israeli occupation of the West Bank since 1967 have attempted to negate a Palestinian identity by ignoring or stultifying it, so, he writes, has the PLO resuscitated the ""idea"" of Palestine and created an infrastructure capable of unifying and educating Palestinians within and outside Israel. Expounding on the negative impact of Zionism (Western imperialism) on Arabs in Israel as opposed to its benefits for Jews, Said traces the origins of the Palestinian nationalist movement to the encounter with Zionism in the 1880s; dwells on the critical year 1948 when many left what became the state of Israel; emphasizes post-1967 events and the rise of an effective PLO which he claims represents all Palestinians; and ends with his vision of the future -- notwithstanding Camp David and the Arab-Israeli treaty -- a secular democratic state. (Its implications for Israeli sovereignty are not discussed.) By using and recommending only partisan documentation, however, and neglecting to provide evidence for a number of controversial interpretations (Palestinian ""ejection from Israel; ""unauthorized"" Arab terrorism), Said limits the usefulness of his tract as a scholarly work; but the position had not heretofore been articulated at this elevated level.
