Voices of Resistance
'The most powerful work of collective testament I have ever read. A breathtaking and spirit-forging book. Read it now’—Ali Smith
Our October book, originally published by Comma Press, marks two years of Israel's genocide in Gaza.
The world has witnessed videos, photos, and Instagram reels showing cities in ruin, and entire families pulled from the rubble. Such enormity can be difficult to process, but behind each image lie ordinary lives full of hope, love and community.
In these diaries, four Gazan women – Batool Abu Akleen, Sondos Sabra, Nahil Mohana and Ala'a Obaid – offer first-hand accounts of their experiences. Even when displaced under fire, or forced to bury loved ones, the writers never abandon their humanity, their individuality, or their belief in the future. These are not stories of pity; these are stories filled with love, humour, and the beauty of Palestinian people and culture. In the face of genocide, the existence of these diaries, like the very survival of their authors, is an act of resistance.
