About Dr. Ramzy Baroud

Dr. Ramzy Baroud is a Palestinian author, historian, and academic whose work focuses on Palestinian history, liberation, and people’s history. He is the Editor of The Palestine Chronicle, which he has led since 1999, and has spent decades developing an alternative historical narrative centered on lived Palestinian experience rather than elite political frameworks.

Baroud holds a Ph.D. in Palestine Studies from the University of Exeter. He has taught mass communication at Curtin University and serves as a Non-Resident Senior Research Fellow at the Center for Islam and Global Affairs (CIGA) at Istanbul Zaim University. His scholarship bridges journalism and academia, and his work has appeared in numerous academic journals and edited volumes.

He is the author of eight books. His latest book, Before the Flood (Seven Stories Press), reconstructs Gaza’s modern history through family memory and intergenerational testimony. His earlier works include Searching Jenin, The Second Palestinian Intifada, My Father Was a Freedom Fighter, The Last Earth, and These Chains Will Be Broken. He is also the co-editor, with Ilan Pappé, of Our Vision for Liberation, and the forthcoming volume Gaza Rising, which examines Palestinian resistance and political transformation in Gaza.

Baroud’s writing has been translated into multiple languages and widely published internationally. His work combines historical analysis, oral history, and political interpretation, contributing to global debates on settler colonialism, resistance, and liberation movements.

He has lectured extensively at universities, research centers, and public institutions across North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, contributing to global discussions on Palestine, decolonization, media, and popular resistance. His public scholarship places academic research in conversation with civil society audiences, activist communities, and policy forums.
