Ghassan Kanafani: Selected Political Writings (2024)

Ghassan Kanafani: Selected Political Writings, Louis Brehony and Tahrir Hamdi (eds), Pluto Press 2024, 308pp

In the book Ghassan Kanafani: Selected Political Writings, editors Louis Brehony and Tahrir Hamdi present a collection of Ghassan Kanafani’s political texts, which have often been overshadowed by his renowned novels. Kanafani’s life and revolutionary spirit are immortalised in his writings, making them not only compelling reads but powerful tools of resistance. In the context of an ongoing genocide, in which expressions of solidarity with the Palestinian armed resistance is criminalised as support for ‘terrorism’ by the pro-Zionist British government, it is vital to recover the ideas of Kanafani to build a strong movement in unconditional support with the Palestinian people against Zionism and imperialism. That is why this book is vitally important for socialists and communists in Britain. Read full review here
