Inhaltsangabe

A major work by one of the great public intellectuals of the twentieth century, The Question of Palestine was the first book to narrate the modern Palestinian experience in English. Edward Said’s project to ‘bring Palestine into history’ was unquestionably a success – there is no longer a question of whether Palestine had a history before colonization – and yet Palestinian self-determination is as distant as ever. With the rigorous scholarship he brought to his influential Orientalism and shaped by his own life in exile in New York, Said’s account of the traumatic national encounter of the Palestinian people with Zionism is still as pertinent and incisive today as it was on first publication in 1979.

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren


Edward W. Said (1935–2003) was one of the world’s most influential literary and cultural critics. Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University, he was the author of twenty-two books, including Orientalism, Culture and Imperialism and Out of Place. He was also a music critic, opera scholar, pianist and the most eloquent spokesman for the Palestinian cause in the West.



Saree Makdisi teaches English literature at UCLA. His most recent book is Tolerance Is a Wasteland: Palestine and the Culture of Denial.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This original and deeply provocative book was the first to make Palestine the subject of a serious debate - one that remains as critical as ever. With the rigorous scholarship he brought to his influential Orientalism and an exile's passion (he is Palestinian by birth), Edward Said traces the fatal collision between two people in the Middle East and its repercussions in the lives of both the occupier and the occupied - as well as in the conscience of the West.

For anyone interested in this region and its future, The Question of Palestine remains the most useful and authoritative account available.
