Reconstructing this moment of re-emergence through primary material and interviews with diverse influential intellectuals—its analysis highlights their self-understandings, worldviews, strategies and perceptions of the phenomenon in which they are involved, while questioning whether the single state idea has the potential to become a Gramscian inspired movement of resistance against Zionism. In presenting this rare insight into a resistance movement in the making, this book resurrects an empowering image of Antonio Gramsci infused with the writings of Edward Said. This it does in an effort to both problematize the dominant interpretations of Gramsci’s writings in International Relations, and to decolonise the abstract way in which resistance and counter hegemony are often studied in the discipline.
Contributing a mapping of a silenced alternative and hopeful way forward in the context of escalating violence, this book is essential reading for those studying the Arab-Israeli conflict, Middle East Politics and International Relations.

has dominated, and frustrated, the
official search for peace in Palestine/Israel.
In parallel to it, an alternative struggle of
resistance—centred upon the single-state
idea as a more liberating pathway towards
justice to the conflict—has re-emerged
against the hegemony of Zionism and the
demise of a viable two-state solution in
Palestine/Israel. This paper inquires into
the nature of this phenomenon as a movement
of resistance. To this end, it reconstructs
the re-emergence of the single-state
solution intellectually and organisationally
from within a Gramscian-inspired lens—
while specifically focusing upon the centrality
of the anti-Oslo writings of Edward
Said and the consequent role of the Diaspora
within this alternative. This it does
from within a de-colonial approach to the
politics of resistance which centres the
political practices of the oppressed themselves
in its analysis. Thus, it analyses the
potential of the single-state alternative as
a Gramscian ‘philosophical movement’
from within its own self-understandings,
strategies and maps to power. In doing so,
it aims to shed light upon a largely
silenced pathway of resistance to the current
peace process, to question its location
between the ‘local’ and the ‘global’, and to
take its possibility as a more just alternative
to the status quo seriously.

The Re-emergence of the Single State Solution in Palestine/Israel: Countering an Illusion, analyses the potential of the single state idea as a movement of resistance since the Oslo Accords and tells the story of the vision, activism and strategies of the intellectuals behind it. Is the idea of a single, democratic state academic and utopian? Can intellectuals build movements for political change? What do these movements look like, and what are their strategies and dilemmas?
