Gaza Rising: Voices from the Rubble
Drawing on the voices of Gaza’s own intellectuals, journalists, doctors, teachers, artists, and community leaders, Gaza Rising: Voices from the Rubble highlights the resilience of a people determined to endure despite overwhelming devastation.
Since October 7, 2023, Gaza has faced its most catastrophic assault yet, with the destruction extending far beyond homes to hospitals, schools, civil institutions, and cultural life itself. By late 2024, most of the Strip had been rendered uninhabitable, leaving nearly the entire population displaced. Yet even amid the systematic targeting of every sector of society, Gaza’s people continue to assert their existence, raising a profound question: can a people so deeply rooted ever truly be erased?
The Last Earth:A Palestinian Story
Spanning decades and encompassing war, mass exodus, epic migrations and the search for individual and collective identity, The Last Earth tells the story of modern Palestine through the memories of those who have lived it.
Ordinary Palestinians have rarely narrated their own history. In this groundbreaking book, acclaimed author Ramzy Baroud draws on dozens of interviews to produce vivid, intimate and beautifully written accounts of Palestinian lives – in villages, refugee camps, prisons and cities, in the lands of their ancestors and in exile. Baroud’s empathetic and lyrical approach reveals new human dimensions of the Palestinian saga, telling it as it has never before been told.
L’ultima terra. Una storia palestinese
In L’Ultima Terra, Una storia palestinese, Ramzy Baroud ricostruisce la storia della Palestina attraverso le voci di chi l’ha vissuta in prima persona. Il libro rompe con la storiografia tradizionale per dare spazio alle testimonianze di rifugiati, famiglie sradicate e prigionieri politici, trasformando la memoria individuale in una narrazione collettiva.
Fondendo storia orale, racconto personale e analisi politica, L’Ultima Terra sfida i discorsi dominanti che hanno a lungo negato ai palestinesi il diritto di raccontarsi. È un’opera che restituisce centralità all’esperienza umana della Nakba, dell’esilio e della resistenza, affermando che la storia palestinese non è solo perdita, ma anche dignità, sumoud e legame con la terra.
أبي ذلك المناضل، قصة غزة التي لم تُروَ بعد
ليس التاريخ ما يكتبه المنتصرون، فهؤلاء يوظفون قوة انتصارهم لفرض روايتهم عمّا يجب أن يكون التاريخ. هذه الحقيقة أدركها رمزي بارود، فتحدّى السردية الغربية الشائعة عن غزة وفلسطين، تلك التي كتبها الغزاة، وترك مهمة الكتابة للضحايا أنفسهم. فجاءت الرواية واقعية وصادقة، مشبعة بالكارثة والبطولة معاً. إنها شهادة عن حياة تُعاش على خطوط المواجهة، حيث العنف ليس حدثاً عابراً بل واقعاً دائماً يطبع الوجود الفلسطيني.
لم يخترع الكاتب تاريخاً، بل استمده من حياته العائلية الفلسطينية، ومن سيرة والده الذي اقتُلع من قريته إلى مخيم لجوء، فحمل السلاح في مواجهة الاحتلال، وربّى أسرة وسط القصف والتشريد. لم يكتب كتابه للعرب، بل للغربيين بلغتهم، مخاطباً بيئة احتضنت المشروع الصهيوني وشرّعت جرائمه. ورغم إدراكه لقدرة إسرائيل العسكرية على تغيير الجغرافيا، بقي مؤمناً بأن إرادة الفلسطينيين هي التي تصنع التاريخ، وأن نضال غزة وأهلها لن يضيع سدى.
Résistant en Palestine: Une histoire vraie de Gaza
Ligne de front dans le conflit entre Israël et les Palestiniens, Gaza est systématiquement dépeinte comme un lieu de violence et de terreur. Ramzy Baroud explore la vie quotidienne des habitants de cette région tourmentée, nous donnant à comprendre ce qui est en danger dans chaque nouvelle explosion de violence.
Son livre raconte la fascinante histoire de son père : chassé de son village et parqué dans un camp de réfugiés, il a courageusement combattu l’occupation tout en élevant sa famille.
Ce récit vivant et sans concession nous révèle des êtres humains complexes qui font de la Bande de Gaza bien plus qu’un simple territoire contesté.
