Not me finishing two audiobooks today???? (Who am I!!!!)
I was very pleased to discover this audiobook was available on Hoopla, so I didn’t have to wait a month for my Spotify listening hours to reset 😁😁😁, but anyways:
This book is SO! FUCKING! GOOD!!!
An incredibly accessible nonfiction read which breaks down:
- Israel’s history/modern implementation of ecocide against Palestinians
- reading & libraries as a tool of resistance and education in the face of violent occupation
- lived experience of Palestinians
- Palestinian poetry, culture etc
- possible solutions/outcomes for the future of Palestine
- language as a tool of genocide: aka, breaking down how we talk about Gaza, Palestinians, and their future & how wording matters.
