The Verso Palestine Pamphlets

The genocide in Gaza reached its one year mark without any end in sight. 365 days of indiscriminate bombing, the decimation of hospitals, targeted attacks on journalists and aid workers, and mass scholasticide. In the face of this destruction, rigorous analysis of Palestine's history and present has never been more important. That is why we are launching the Verso Palestine Pamphlets.

These pamphlets are short, urgent interventions answering pressing questions about Palestine. Why have Western countries offered their consent to Israel’s genocide in Gaza since last October? What is the relationship between Palestine and imperialism? What is the history of Western involvement in Palestine and how is it bound up with the struggle for an inhabitable Earth? What are the material conditions and ideological formations that have shaped the Palestinian resistance over the past four decades?

Through these pamphlets, the series seeks to help deepen our understanding of Palestine’s long struggle for liberation. The first books publishing in this series are available to buy now in ebook format, and for pre-order in print (shipping in January 2025).
