Ghassan Kanafani: Selected Political Writings (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780745349374)

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.

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.

Selected 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.
