AFSCs new anthology, Light in Gaza, imagines the future of Gaza beyond the cruelties of occupation and Apartheid.
In his chapter in Light on Gaza: Writings Born of Fire--“Travel Restrictions as a Manifestation of Nakba: Gaza, the Path Backward Is the Path Forward”--Yousef Aljamal writes about the continuation of the Nakba as manifested through Israel’s control of Palestinians’ freedom of movement.
On October 6, AFSC and Haymarket Books launched Light in Gaza with a webinar event featuring contributors Refaat Alareer, Mosab Abu Toha, and Jehad Abusalim. Refaat, Mosab, and Jehad spoke about storytelling in Gaza and imagining a future for Gaza beyond the blockade.
The event, livestreamed on Haymarket Books' YouTube Channel, is available to watch here: https://youtu.be/4u6aagh4ZIE
