Published in 2022 by Haymarket Books and co-edited by our Executive Director, Jehad Abusalim, Light in Gaza: Writings Born of Fire is an anthology that brings together works from 12 Palestinian writers and authors, some residing in Gaza. This anthology envisions the future of Gaza beyond the hardships of occupation and apartheid, asserting its significance in Palestinian identity, history, and the quest for liberation.
Light in Gaza is a comprehensive anthology featuring new contributions from twelve Palestinian writers and poets. This collaborative effort aims to amplify Palestinian voices in the ongoing fight for liberation and justice.
The anthology grapples with a pivotal question: Can a brighter future for Gaza be envisioned as part of a broader strategy to end the Nakba, through the restoration of rights and the pursuit of justice?
