In 2014, distinguished juristRichard Falk completed his six-year term as UN Special Rapporteur on occupied Palestine. WithPalestine: The Legitimacy of Hope, he powerfully illuminates the transformation of the Palestinians' struggle over recent years into one for legitimacy, similar to that pursued by the great anti-colonial movements of the twentieth century. Throughout the information-packed essays collected in this book, Falk discerns many

signs of hope that the Palestinian people can harness the growing international attention and solidarity their struggle has achieved and break free of the apartheid and occupation that they have long endured.

This is a

companion volume to Falk's Chaos and Counterrevolution: After the Arab Spring (Just World Books, 2015.)

Reviews for Palestine: The Legitimacy of Hope

""Richard Falk writes that he has sought to be a 'truthful observer.' He has succeeded admirably, and gone well beyond."" --Noam Chomsky ""This volume, like Richard Falk himself, is equal parts brilliance and compassion. What began as blog posts blends into a distillation of a lifetime of thinking about and working on Palestine and Israel. This book has no peer."" --Lisa Hajjar, Law and Society program chair, University of California, Santa Barbara ""This is the voice of reasoned outrage. The blogosphere and legal scholarship are combined in an extraordinarily moving, detailed, and perceptive account of what Richard Falk calls the 'legitimacy struggle' of the Palestinian people. Anyone who cares about human solidarity and wants to understand what is happening now in Gaza must read this book."" --Mary Kaldor, professor of Global Governance at the London School of Economics
