“A magisterial and comprehensive analysis of Zionism from its earliest iterations to the present. Every person who claims to oppose Israeli genocide needs to read this book for a proper understanding of Zionist motivations and attitudes, told from the point of view of its primary victims. The translation of Jiryis's opus gives Anglophone observers of Palestine the opportunity to bypass the anguished dilemmas of one-time Zionists that dominate discourse in the Global North and instead engage with one of the finest texts of the Palestinian intellectual tradition.” Steven Salaita Professor in the English and Comparative Literature department, The American University in Cairo “His book on Zionism, originally published in Arabic, has finally been translated to English and at a most auspicious moment in the history of the ideology and the movement. Based on extensive research from Zionist and Israeli sources, Jiryis’ The Foundations of Zionism will be equally indispensable to readers and specialists interested in the policies of the state of Israel and its official ideology. Erudite and thorough, the book reminds us that nothing the state of Israel does falls outside the foundations of its ruling ideology. This compelling book is essential reading.” Joseph Massad Professor of Modern Arab Politics and Intellectual History at Columbia University

A picture of an endorsement of Charnley and Richmond's 'Fascism and the Women's Cause.' The book cover is on the left and to the right is the endorsement in white font on a lavender background. The endorsement says: 'This book is a tremendous resource and an exciting, theoretically sophisticated achievement. At a time when certain feminisms have reasserted themselves as one of fascism's forms of appearance, Alex Charnley and Michael Richmond's intervention could not be more critical.' Sophie Lewis' name is in a larger font and underneath in a smaller font are Lewis' publications, 'Author of Full Surrogacy Now (Verso, 2019) and Enemy Feminisms (Haymarket Books, 2025).' On the bottom right is a cream coloured badge that says in lavender font 'Preorder now.'
