Time Bombs
Born in Palestine in 1936 and exiled at the age of twelve, Ghassan Kanafani eventually became one of the leading lights of Palestinian resistance - novelist, editor, playwright, sculptor, painter, political party spokesperson, revolutionary theorist, and, finally, martyr.

Escaping the Zionist Circle: Notes on Racial Capitalism and the Black Radical Tradition
From the 1947–8 Nakba to the 2023–4 Gaza genocide, the history of Palestine appears to be stuck in a vicious circle of violence from which escape seems increasingly elusive.

Around that same time, Interior M…
