There are only two possible outcomes to the ongoing apartheid and genocide: justice or annihilation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Drawing from Baconi's extensive academic and organizing work with Palestinian and international activists, and from decades of long-standing principles, \u003ci\u003eWhat Now\u003c\/i\u003e distils three strategic priorities for a free Palestine to guide activists and allies: refuse the prospect of a divided homeland, resuscitate the revolutionary politics of the Palestinian commitment to freedom and justice, and decompose Zionism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Imagining a Free Palestine is not the same as turning back the clock to pre-1948, Baconi writes, but a new struggle for a just future in the aftermath of Zionism-not by fighting Jewish presence in Palestine, but by ending Jewish political exclusivity. A free Palestine would heal the wounds left in the wake of the second world war, by challenging and upturning the colonial and genocidal mindsets that continue to animate Western thought-the ramifications of justice would therefore extend far beyond the shores of Palestine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for Tareq Baconi's \u003ci\u003eFire in Every Direction\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'In stunning detail - both physical and emotional - Baconi traces a story of personal and communal alienation, longing, and liberation'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOmar El Akkad, author of \u003ci\u003eOne Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Moving and generous'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIsabella Hammad, author of \u003ci\u003eEnter Ghost\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Luminous, moving, and achingly beautiful'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaaza Mengiste, author of T\u003ci\u003ehe Shadow King\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57838421672310,"sku":"9781399764353","price":10.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_41434096_f911c9f8-6367-4a33-8cb2-9ce585d6c639.jpg?v=1779935054","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781399764353-what-now","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
