Palestine in the Claws of Colonialism

Published by Diwan, Palestine in the Clutches of Colonialism (Filastin Bayna Makhalib al-Isti'mar) by influential Egyptian economist and social theorist Ahmed Sadek Saad is a seminal historical and structural analysis of the Palestinian cause. Utilizing a rigorous socio-economic framework, Saad dissects the collusion between British imperial ambitions and the Zionist project during the mandatory period and beyond. The book systematically traces how colonial powers systematically dismantled Palestine’s traditional social and economic structures to lay the groundwork for dispossession and geopolitical hegemony. By linking local realities in Palestine to global imperialist strategies, Saad provides a profound, research-backed foundation for understanding the historical drivers of resistance and the struggle for self-determination in the Arab region.

It offers an indispensable, highly analytical socio-economic breakdown of how colonialism shaped modern Palestine, essential for understanding the political economy of the Middle East.
