- The Persistence of the Palestinian Question: Essays on Zionism and the Palestinians
Deeply researched and documented, this book analyzes the failure of the 'peace process' and proposes that a solution to the Palestinian Question will not be found unless settler-colonialism, racism, and anti-Semitism are abandoned as the ideological framework for a resolution. Individual essays further explore the struggle over Jewish identity in Israel and the struggle among Palestinians over what constitutes the Palestinian Question today.
But his critique of Zionist ideology and practise is thoroughly researched, powerfully argued and often brilliantly insightful. Looking into the contradictions around and within Palestine, the essays illuminate the complex shaping of the diverse and even conflicting Palestinian positions.

- Earn It: Empower Yourself for Love.
- Invisible Wealth: The Hidden Story of How Markets Work.
This timely and engaging volume makes an invaluable contribution to the ongoing debate over Zionism and Palestine. This is a courageous intellectual exercise, long needed, in an often overburdened and repetitive field of inquiry. Massad's brilliant and scholarly work is profoundly illuminating not only for the history of Palestine and the discourses surrounding it, but for the history of Europe and the United States and, finally, as an account that raises compelling theoretical questions. Essays on Zionism and the Palestinians, Massad stakes his claim to the mantle of leading Palestinian intellectual bequeathed him by former Columbia colleague Edward Said.
It is a claim well made. Picking up the weaponry of discourse analysis, Massad sets out to reframe the debate, confront a hegemonic Zionist narrative, and articulate an alternative. His essays are guaranteed to annoy and stimulate in equal measure.

Massad presents some creative insights into the Zionist enterprise, placing it in the context of western colonialism, imperialism, and white supremacy. Clearly the Zionist enterprise was and is doomed to fail from the start. All other proposed solutions, the author argues, are bound to fail. Deeply researched and documented, this book analyzes the failure of the 'peace process' and proposes that a solution to the Palestinian Question will not be found unless settler-colonialism, racism, and anti-Semitism are abandoned as the ideological framework for a resolution.
Individual essays further explore the struggle over Jewish identity in Israel and the struggle among Palestinians over what constitutes the Palestinian Question today. Paperback , pages.
