Palestine, Israel, and the U.S. Empire

1804 Books has recently launched the second edition of Palestine, Israel, and the U.S. Empire by Richard Becker. This is an essential book for the current moment and is for anyone who’s fighting against the colonial occupation of Palestine, and for your friends and family who are seeking to learn more

about Palestine’s history. 

Taking a firm anti-Zionist perspective on the history of Palestine and Israel, this traces the movements of resistance from British colonialism to the fight back in Gaza and the West Bank today. 

From the division of the Middle East by Western powers and the Zionist settler movement, to the founding of Israel and its role as a watchdog for US interests, to present day conflicts and the prospects for a just resolution—this narrative is firmly rooted in the politics of Palestinian liberation. Here is a necessary contribution to the heroic efforts of the Palestinian people to achieve justice in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. This book contains a complete index and a timeline of developments in the history of Palestine.

The Trinity of Fundamentals

1804 Books is excited to announce that The Trinity of Fundamentals by Wisam Rafeedie is now available for purchase! The Trinity of Fundamentals is the fictionalized account of former Palestinian prisoner Rafeedie’s nine-year experience hiding from the Occupation, now presented in its first-ever English translation. 

Twenty-two-year-old Kan’an is driven by an unshakable commitment to the Palestinian cause. His compelling journey filled with sacrifice and struggle, love and pain, isolation and liberation. Throughout all this, Kan’an maintains a spirit of revolutionary optimism so strong that the reader is bound to be transformed.

Written in 1993 during Rafeedie’s time in Israeli prison and confiscated by prison guards, The Trinity of Fundamentals was smuggled out by Wisam’s comrades, and soon after became a significant text for the Palestinian prisoner’s movement. From historical events like the First Intifada and the Gulf War to the deeply intimate moments of life in hiding, this story gives us a glimpse into what life looks like when it is wholly dedicated to the cause of liberation and is transformed by revolution.

Love, revolution, and life—these are the “trinity of fundamentals'' that pave Kan’an’s path of struggle. Although the novel is set in the past, it holds many lessons that resonate with our current political moment, mobilizing us into collective action.
