Ghassan Kanafani: Selected Political Writings - Ghassan Kanafani

Ghassan Kanafani (1936 - 1972) is perhaps the greatest Palestinian novelist whose books, including Men in the Sun and Returning to Haifa, documented the horrors of war and occupation. His life deeply inspired his literature as a political thinker, strategist, and revolutionary. Here, his writings on theory and contemporary politics are collected for the first time. n From reflections on his readings of Marxist theory to historical studies and blazing analyses of contemporary geopolitical developments, this collection shows a fascinating intellectual evolution and a commitment to the fight for liberation. n nSelected Political Items is a testament to Kanafani's continuing relevance and contains new commentary from leading contemporary writers. Like many of his peers, agents of Israel assassinated Kanafani, but the impact of his work remains a testament to the power of revolutionary Palestinian struggle and anti-Zionist Arab thought.n
