About this product
Product Information
As global solidarity for Palestinian liberation grows, the desire for Gaza-centered texts makes this book a seminal one. As an anthology of Palenstinian writers and artists, it also lends itself to the collective effort to organize and center Palestinian voices in the ongoing struggle. Sara Roy's Unsilencing Gaza, and Natasha Marin's Black Imagination have done well as political discourse shifts toward futurism as a means of reimagining a better way of living not confined by the violence and limitations of colonialism.

Reviews
" Light in Gaza is a strong, honest presentation of today's Gazans, a necessary read that provides a good understanding of the humanity of the Palestinians in Gaza." -- Palestine Chronicle "Gaza is often referred to as an 'open-air prison,' because it is so hard for messages, images or bodies to get out, or for resources to get in. Light in Gaza breaks through the prison walls and gives us a unique opportunity to hear and learn from those living under Israeli occupation in Gaza. Their voices are filled with pain, loss, frustration, anger, but most of all, hope. This powerful and beautifully crafted collection is one that readers must engage with heads and hearts wide open." --Barbara Ransby, historian, author, activist "An emotionally and intellectually sophisticated collection that is deep, processed and enlightening." --Sarah Schulman "As Mahmud Darwish wrote as early as 1973, "we do injustice to Gaza when we turn it into a myth". This is why "Light in Gaza", through its insightful collection of essays and poems, offers such a unique picture of the Palestinian experience in a territory cut off from the world for a decade and a half." --Jean-Pierre Filiu, author of Gaza: A History "The poignant first-person essays in this wide-ranging anthology have the greatest and rarest of virtues: they are portraits--brave, tender, resilient--of life in Gaza by the people who actually live it." --Nathan Thrall, author of The Only Language They Understand, " Light in Gaza is a strong, honest presentation of today's Gazans, a necessary read that provides a good understanding of the humanity of the Palestinians in Gaza." -- Palestine Chronicle "This book is rich in insights from Gazans living under Israel's brutal siege as well as those living abroad. The editors and authors are determined to start a conversation about Gaza and to break "the intellectual blockade" imposed on it. From Jehad Abusalim's introduction to the last word, these compelling works move from personal reflections to political and economic analysis. They capture the reader and pull them through a journey that is as uplifting as it is heartbreaking that it should have to be lived at all. It will not leave you unmoved and will reinforce your determination to strive for Palestinian freedom." --Nadia Hijab, co-founder and honorary president, Al-Shabaka: the Palestinian Policy Network "Because of Israel's blockade, I've only been able to go to Gaza once. Everyone I spoke to there could tell me about the unimaginable hardship and trauma they'd experienced. But what stayed with me most was something I hadn't expected: The unquenchable optimism and humor of Palestinians there. Reading Light in Gaza a decade after my visit brought that feeling flooding back. This brilliant, funny, inspiring collection of stories and essays by writers in Gaza was exactly what I needed to reinvigorate my hope and determination to work for a future that uplifts us all." -- Ali Abunimah "Gaza is often referred to as an 'open-air prison,' because it is so hard for messages, images or bodies to get out, or for resources to get in. Light in Gaza breaks through the prison walls and gives us a unique opportunity to hear and learn from those living under Israeli occupation in Gaza. Their voices are filled with pain, loss, frustration, anger, but most of all, hope. This powerful and beautifully crafted collection is one that readers must engage with heads and hearts wide open." --Barbara Ransby, historian, author, activist "An emotionally and intellectually sophisticated collection that is deep, processed and enlightening." --Sarah Schulman " Light In Gaza is essential reading, not least because it reflects the voice of a people who are routinely and egregiously robbed of their basic humanity. It also represents a profound challenge to anyone who reads it. One author asks, "Can a story or a poem change the mind? Can a book make a difference?" The answer, as ever, is up to us all." --Rabbi Brant Rosen, Founding Rabbi of congregation Tzedek Chicago "As Mahmud Darwish wrote as early as 1973, "we do injustice to Gaza when we turn it into a myth".

Read these writings - literally "born of fire" for the wealth and variety of their ideas and for their grounding of the aspirations and dreams of Palestinian Gazans.
