“These searing essays refract the reality of terrible years through a mind with extraordinary understanding, compassion, insight, and deep knowledge.” —Noam Chomsky
These essays, which originally appeared in Cairo’s Al-Ahram Weekly, London’s Al-Hayat,and the London Review of Books, take us from the Oslo Accords through the U.S. ledinvasion of Iraq, and present information and perspectives too rarely visible inAmerica.
Said is unyielding in his call for truth and justice. He insists on truthabout Israel’s role as occupier and its treatment of the Palestinians. He pleadsfor new avenues of communication between progressive elements in Israel and he is equally forceful in his condemnation of Arab failures and the need forreal leadership in the Arab world.
