Justice for Some: Law and the Question of Palestine by Noura Erakat

5.0

Noura Erakat's book is nothing short of brilliant. It's an excellent book for people who want to understand the history of Palestine with the added bonus of situating that history within a legal context. The third chapter - "Pragmatic Revolutionaries" - is especially good as it details the play-by-play of the PLO in the context of the Non-Aligned Movement and the UN in the 1970s, an essential piece of history that isn't always included with the level of detail Erakat supplies. Likewise, the conclusion is critical reading for anyone who is apart of the BDS movement to liberate Palestine - both in terms of strategy as well as analogy - using Namibia and Algeria as different types of touchstones.
