Reviews for Yusif Sayigh: Arab Economist and Palestinian Patriot: A Fractured Life Story
"The power of this biography lies in its capacity to provide insight into Sayigh’s life while narrating and meticulously elaborating the political, social, and economic history of the Palestinian people within a complex regional and global environment.
