2da edición, con nueva introducción, Chicago: Haymarket Books, 2010.

Esta historia del Partido Comunista Palestino desbarata la caricatura del conflicto palestino-israelí como una antigua disputa religiosa. Musa Budeiri muestra cómo la compleja historia de la izquierda palestina antes de la destrucción sionista de la Palestina histórica se definía por el laicismo y la solidaridad entre trabajadores árabes y judíos.
