The Question of Palestine is a deeply researched and passionately argued examination of the history, politics, and human realities underlying the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. The book traces the origins of the Palestinian struggle, from the legacy of colonialism and the impact of Zionism to the displacement and dispossession of Palestinians in 1948 and beyond. Said blends historical analysis with political critique, challenging prevailing narratives and emphasizing the importance of recognizing Palestinian identity, rights, and self-determination. Written with the eloquence and intellectual rigor that marked all of Said’s work, it remains a seminal text for understanding the complexity and urgency of one of the world’s most enduring conflicts.
