Overview
By the author of the New York Times Bestseller The Hundred Years' War on Palestine
From British colonization to Israeli occupation, an essential primer on the nearly century-long fight for Palestinian liberation
A Beacon Classics edition, featuring a spot gloss cover and retro, classic palette
After over 75 years of death and dehumanization, the fight for Palestinian statehood has only grown more fervent, the stakes more dire than ever before. Israel’s increasingly violent occupation has culminated in a one-sided war, with Palestinians unable to defend themselves against Israel’s military assault. What led to the longest—and one of the deadliest—ongoing military occupations in the world? In The Iron Cage, Rashid Khalidi, one of the foremost scholars of Middle Eastern history, traces the origins of today’s war through sociopolitical and cultural analysis.
Drawing on a wealth of experience and scholarship, Khalidi offers crucial historical context of Palestinian attempts to achieve statehood. He tracks how settler colonialists—first the British, then the Israelis—ensnared Palestinians behind the bars of an “iron cage.” This cage bred the conditions for ineffective Palestinian leadership that would ultimately strengthen the bars that confined them.
Reflective and well-researched, The Iron Cage is an incisive negotiation with the past. Khalidi examines the internal and external failures of the late 19th and early 20th centuries to ground our understanding of the harrowing realities in the region today. Reading this vital chronicle is the first step in disrupting complicity and thinking about the future of the Middle East.
