A Bánh Mì for Two by Trinity Nguyen

This book has my entire heart many times over!! You need to read it!! It is so full of the precise diaspora yearning I feel constantly and I will be recommending this book to everyone forever.
It's a story of love for a girl, for the homeland that was taken from us, and the dream that the world is so much bigger

They Called Me a Lioness: A Palestinian Girl's Fight for Freedom by Dena Takruri, Ahed Tamimi
5.0
They say that Palestinians teach life and I've learned so much from Ahed Tamimi. She's incredible and her story is full of life. I'm immensely impressed with the voice in this, it reads like a novel in the most positive way possible. It's approachable, honest, and sincere in the such a beautiful way. With freedom fighters like Ahed and all of us around the world I know Palestine will be free in our lifetime.
Decolonizing Israel, Liberating Palestine: Zionism, Settler Colonialism, and the Case for One Democratic State by Jeff Halper
