The Battle for Justice in Palestine: The Case for a Single Democratic State in Palestine
Ali Abunimah
Written as the two-state solution collapsed, Abunimah's case for a single democratic state — and his map of a movement that, he argues, is winning the battle for justice.
Published as US-brokered negotiations collapsed for good, The Battle for Justice in Palestine argues that the two-state solution is dead — and that this is no counsel of despair. Ali Abunimah contends that Palestinians and their allies are winning the struggle for hearts and minds: on campuses, in churches, and in the streets, the boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement has reframed Israel as an apartheid state. Surveying Israel’s turn to the right, the failure of the Palestinian Authority’s statehood project, and the growing demand for equal rights in a single democratic state, he places Palestine within a global constellation of justice struggles, from South Africa to Ferguson.
Part analysis, part strategy manual, the book won the 2016 Lannan Cultural Freedom Award for an Especially Notable Book.
