Wholesale Gaza Writes Back, Memorial Edition

Gaza Writes Back is a compelling collection of short stories written in English by young writers in Gaza in the period soon after Israel's 2008-09 offensive against Gaza. The stories, collected by English-literature professor Dr. Refaat Alareer, take us into the homes and hearts of ordinary Gaza Palestinians trying to live lives of dignity and meaning in a community that, even then, was one of the world's most embattled. In early December 2023, the Israeli military assassinated Prof. Alareer sending shockwaves of horror among all who loved and respected him around the world. This new edition of the collection is produced in loving memory of his life and work. This volume vividly presents, in fictionalized form, the stories, observations, and aspirations of young Palestinians in besieged Gaza.
