Massad is no practitioner of political correctness and one may not agree with everything he says. But his critique of Zionist ideology and practise is thoroughly researched, powerfully argued and often brilliantly insightful. - Walid Khalidi, formerly of Harvard University, USA
Joseph Massads The Persistence of the Palestinian Question insightfully probes contemporary politics within a broader historical framework. Looking into the contradictions around and within Palestine, the essays illuminate the complex shaping of the diverse and even conflicting Palestinian positions. This timely and engaging volume makes an invaluable contribution to the ongoing debate over Zionism and Palestine. - Ella Shohat, New York University, USA
This is a thought provoking book that forces us to reverse our conventional images and perceptions about Palestines history and future. This is a courageous intellectual exercise, long needed, in an often overburdened and repetitive field of inquiry. - Ilan Pappe, University of Haifa, Israel
The title of this book does not do justice to the contribution this book makes to the history of Zionism, Israel, and the Jews. Massads brilliant and scholarly work is profoundly illuminating not only for the history of Palestine and the discourses surrounding it, but for the history of Europe and the United States and, finally, as an account that raises compelling theoretical questions. - Anne Norton, Journal of Palestine Studies, Volume XXXVI Number 2, Winter 2007
The Persistence of the Palestinian Question is a valuable collection of essays analysing the discourses that drive, describe and dominate the Palestinian Question… Through 11 essays, as well as a heated Benny Morris–Joseph Massad interview-debate, Massad shows us that he is an apt follower of the Edward Said school. Journal of Peace Research
In The Persistence of the Palestinian Question: Essays on Zionism and the Palestinians, Massad stakes his claim to the mantle of leading Palestinian intellectual bequeathed him by former Columbia colleague Edward Said. It is a claim well made. Picking up the weaponry of discourse analysis, Massad sets out to reframe the debate, confront a hegemonic Zionist narrative, and articulate an alternative. His essays are guaranteed to annoy and stimulate in equal measure. Middle East Journal
Massad offers original and exciting insights in each of the eloquently written and eruditely reasoned chapters. Arab Studies Journal
This book makes fascinating reading for two interrelated reasons: It demonstrates with erudition the interconnectedness between the destinies of Israelis and Palestinians, not only in the obvious fact they share the same land, but also because many aspects of their identities and contemporary outlooks have been shaped in this faithful encounter… The book is fastidiously referenced, showing the erudition of the author and his command of the voluminous Israeli and Palestinian literature as well as the classics of Jewish history. Ephraim Nimni in Nations and Nationalism
[This] is a painfully honest book...Massads incisive critique of the false premises on which the peace process was conducted helps explain the dismal situation in which Palestinians find themselves today. Jordan Times
The book is primarily concerned with the centrality of the Jewish question and its overlap with the Palestinian question. It is divided into two sections: part one includes essays on Zionist ideology and Palestinian nationalism, while part two includes essays on the origins of the peace process and its transformation of the Palestinian political field. The essays, which have been previously published in a variety of academic journals, are brought together with a new, fresh introduction.
