About the Book

On Palestine contains two of Edward Said's essays, both highly critical of the situation of the Palestinians — under Israeli occupation, and a hapless leadership. The details of the suppression are not central to these essays — these are already well-known. The problem is the interpretation. That is why these essays remain as fresh today as when they were first written.


The book also contains Raja Shehadeh's Edward Said Memorial Lecture, 2014, and an Introduction by Vijay Prashad.

Edward Said

Edward W. Said (1935–2003) was a Palestinian-American literary theorist and public intellectual who helped found the critical-theory field of postcolonialism. He authored several books, including, most famously, Orientalism (1978).
