Reviews
"Edward Said once remarked Palestinians had been denied the permission to narrate their own histories and experiences. Much has changed since then. Their Borders, Our World brings together writers from PalFest, the international cultural solidarity initiative that defies the bans, borders, and bigotry aimed at snuffing out the vibrant Palestinian literary tradition. In the shadow of a Western-backed annihilationist campaign against Gaza and Palestinians, this volume does more than grant the permission to narrate: It is, without permission or apology, a call to liberate."
-Nick Estes (Lakota)

"From exploring settler colonialism's banality to the violence of architecture, this timely highly-recommended book explores through ten innovative essays new insights into ways of understanding and building solidarities with Palestine."
--Raja Shehadeh
"All around the world the cry from the street is 'Free Palestine.' This vital and varied collection reveals some of the global solidarities that lie beneath that united cry, and in doing so asks us to consider what connections we can make, and what histories we might re-shape--together."
--Kamila Shamsie
"Their Borders, Our World arrives as a meteor, incandescent, a signal of determination and solidarity in a dark time, assuring that Palestine will be free."--Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz
