Rethinking Israel and Palestine

<p>The Middle East seems to be in perpetual crisis. One might expect a plethora of Marxist analyses of Israel and Palestine. Yet in the literature on Israel and Palestine there are hardly any studies of class relations of production or the relationship between the political and economic balance of forces over time. This edited volume brings a diverse array of Marxist-influenced interpretations of the present conjuncture in Israel and Palestine. The collection includes works by luminaries of social theory such as Noam Chomsky and Fred Jameson as well as leading scholars of Palestine (Raja Khalidi Sherene Seikaly and Orayb Aref Najjar) and Israel (Jonathan Nitzan Nitzan Lebovic and Amir Locker-Biletzki). It comprises the first-ever collection of Marxist-influenced writings on Palestine and Israel and the relationship between them. </p><p></p><p>This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal <i>Rethinking Marxism.</i> </p>
