Eid’s book Decolonizing the Palestinian Mind (Inkani Books, 2024) was published while he was living and working in Gaza until the scale of annihilation prompted his evacuation. In the book, Eid develops a sharp critique of the 1993 Oslo Accords and the apartheid system that was spawned by this settlement. Building on the work of Edward Said, Eid argues for a new consciousness to guide the Palestinian struggle for liberation in the early twenty-first century.
