What Now

di Tareq Baconi (Autore)

Sceptre, 2026

A stunning, soul-stirring, philosophical, and political treatise on what liberation for Palestine and our world will look like in the twenty-first century. Palestine is a litmus test - the repercussions of which will go beyond the Middle East, extending outward across the world, argues writer Tareq Baconi. There are only two possible outcomes to the ongoing apartheid and genocide: justice or annihilation. Drawing from Baconi's extensive academic and organizing work with Palestinian and international activists, and from decades of long-standing principles, What Now distils three strategic priorities for a free Palestine to guide activists and allies: refuse the prospect of a divided homeland, resuscitate the revolutionary politics of the Palestinian commitment to freedom and justice, and decompose Zionism. Imagining a Free Palestine is not the same as turning back the clock to pre-1948, Baconi writes, but a new struggle for a just future in the aftermath of Zionism-not by fighting Jewish presence in Palestine, but by ending Jewish political exclusivity. A free Palestine would heal the wounds left in the wake of the second world war, by challenging and upturning the colonial and genocidal mindsets that continue to animate Western thought-the ramifications of justice would therefore extend far beyond the shores of Palestine.
