Before the Flood: A Gaza Family Memoir
Before the Flood: A Gaza Family Memoir is a profound exploration of Palestinian history and resilience through the personal stories of the author’s family—the al-Badrasawis. Beginning with intimate details of village life in Beit Daras prior to the Nakba, Ramzy Baroud vividly portrays the rich cultural heritage, deeply rooted traditions, and daily struggles faced by ordinary people whose lives were radically disrupted by the violent upheavals and ongoing conflicts driven by British colonialism and Zionist aggression.
Baroud weaves together past and present, illuminating how historical forces shaped the collective consciousness and steadfast resilience of the Palestinian people. His storytelling reveals not only the harsh realities of occupation, displacement, and loss but also the extraordinary courage, faith, and solidarity that underpin a powerful and enduring spirit of resistance, encapsulated in what the author refers to as the Palestinian “longue durée.” Ultimately, Baroud aims to humanize and reclaim Palestinian narratives from distorted portrayals, highlighting their perseverance and the universal quest for justice and liberation.
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?

Our Vision for Liberation: Engaged Palestinian Leaders & Intellectuals Speak Out
Our Vision for Liberation: Engaged Palestinian Leaders & Intellectuals Speak Out aims to challenge several strata of the current Palestine discourse that have led to the present dead end: the American pro-Israel political discourse, the Israeli colonial discourse, the Arab discourse of purported normalization, and the defunct discourse of the Palestinian factions.
Here, engaged Palestinian leaders and intellectuals, those who have been actively involved in generating an ongoing Palestinian discourse on liberation, take into account the parameters of their struggle. Drawing on their own personal experiences as educators, community leaders, spiritual leaders, artists, historians, human rights activists, political prisoners, and the like, they address what has been and what must next be done.
