The Foundations of Zionism by Sabri Jiryis

Translated into English for the first time, Jiryis details the origins of Zionism and its development as an ideology and political project that has wrought havoc in the Middle East and beyond.

On the left of the image is the book cover for Foundations of Zionism.

On the right is a quote:
“A foundational and vital work. Jiryis’ book is indispensable reading for anyone seeking to understand Zionism's monstrous rise from myth to mandate, and a sobering reminder that there is no redeeming it.”
Mohammed El-Kurd, Palestinian writer and poet

On the bottom right it says, Available October 7th.

On the left of the image is the book cover for Foundations of Zionism.

On the right is the following passage:

'The Foundations of Zionism chronicles Zionism’s development from its early origins to the establishment of the British mandate over Palestine in 1923, refuting the movement’s own foundational myths. Sabri Jiryis delves into Zionism’s successive congresses and factional struggles, its early failures to settle in Palestine and the formation of armed militias, and its temporary alliances with the Ottoman Empire before securing support from Western colonial powers.

In a newly written conclusion, Jiryis reconsiders the Zionist project 100 years on from the Balfour Declaration and amid the ongoing genocide in Gaza.'

'Fascism and the Women’s Cause offers a vital and unvarnished insight into the ways in which historical campaigns for women’s rights often intertwined with far right and fascist ideas about gender, race, class, and empire.'
