This book offers a much-needed focus on Palestine solidarity films, supplying a critical theoretical framework whose intellectual thrust is rooted in the challenges facing scholars censored for attempting to rectify and reverse the silencing of a subject matter about which much of the world would remain uninformed without cinematic and televisual mediation. Its innovative focus on Palestine solidarity films spans a selected array of works which began to emerge during the 1970s, made by directors located outside Palestine/Israel who professed support for Palestinian liberation. Visualizing the Palestinian Struggle analyzes Palestine solidarity films hailing from countries such as Canada, the United Kingdom, Egypt, Iran, Palestine/Israel, Mexico, and the United States. Visualizing the Palestinian Struggle is an effort to insist, constructively, upon a rectification and reversal of the glaring and disproportionate minimization and distortionof discourse critical of Zionism and Israeli policy in the cinematic and televisual public sphere.

Focusing on the Palestine solidarity films of two significant Arab women directors, this book highlights their previously neglected contributions to cinema and scholarship. It analyzes these films through an anti-Zionist lens, offering a materialist feminist perspective on their political aesthetics. By addressing the ideological reasons behind their academic neglect, the work emphasizes the importance of these films in fostering a deeper understanding of Palestine solidarity filmmaking within the Arab context.
