An anthology that celebrates the power of culture in Palestinian resistance, with selections of memoir, short stories, essays, book reviews, personal narrative, poetry, and art.
Includes twenty-five black-and-white illustrations by Palestinian artists.
The Arabic word sumลซd is often loosely translated as โsteadfastnessโ or โstanding fast.โ It is, above all, a Palestinian cultural value of everyday perseverance in the face of Israeli occupation. Sumลซd is both a personal and collective commitment; people determine their own lives, despite the environment of constant oppressions imposed upon them.
This anthology spans the 20th and 21st centuries of Palestinian cultural history, and highlights writing from 2021โ2024. The collection of writing and art features work from forty-six contributors including:
The essays, stories, poetry, art and personal narrative collected in Sumลซd: A New Palestinian Reader is a rich riposte to those who would denigrate Palestiniansโ aspirations for a homeland. It also serves as a timely reminder of cultureโs power and importance during occupation and war.
