A brilliant and much-needed theoretical-political intervention that convincingly and creatively re-envisions the Palestinian question as one of Indigeneity, thereby not only reconceptualizing Palestinian and anti-Zionist politics, but equally offering new ways of thinking about Indigeneity.

In this beautiful and powerful book, Zalloua deftly untangles the terms upon which invocations of solidarity typically rest. The analysis is sharp, meticulous, and full of novel insights and unexpected turns. But even more compelling is the outcome: a renewed and rousing vision for the possibilities of solidarity beyond its own sake.

A book I am certainly going to recommend to my Postcolonial Literature class in Gaza in order to enable my students to truly appreciate the meaning of solidarity with colonized Palestinians living under a multi-tiered system of oppression, namely occupation, colonization and apartheid. It is a book that draws on the principled critical legacy of the likes of Antonio Gramsci, Frantz Fanon, and Edward Said -- the secular democratic left that cannot easily be co-opted by governments or corporations<b> </b>and powerful lobbies.
