Overview

The shrieks of warplanes on their way to bomb Gaza provoked Ramsey Hanhan to write. This collection of poetry and essays plumbs the depths of human thought, religion, history, and culture in search of hope amid the world's criminal silence. In an authentic Palestinian voice, Hanhan sketches the workings of the global machinery of oppression, revealing the centrality of Palestine's liberation to decolonization, social justice, and environmental justice struggles around the world. ""The book I never wanted to write."" ""One of the most authentically Palestinian books ever written..."" -Tony Hanania, prize-winning author of Homesick, Unreal City ('Eros Island'), and the forthcoming Midnight At Noon ""His words resist genocide, inasmuch as they bring Palestinian culture to life, and preserve it for the future."" -Rebecca Ruth Gould, SOAS Distinguished Professor and author of Erasing Palestine ""I highly recommend this book as a deeply moving collection of poetry and essays drawn from the heart."" -Rateb Rabie, KCHS, founder and president, HCEF and Know Thy Heritage ""Is the pen mightier than the sword? After reading this book, I can answer that question without prevarication. The pen of Ramsey Hanhan is mightier than any sword."" -Marc Barham, art, film, and book critic
