Description
Summary:We firmly believe that our children are the stewards of our liberation. When we prioritize our children, we are also prioritizing a world shaped by peace, safety, love and justice. When we protect our children, we are also protecting our most beautiful legacies and coveted traditions. When we invest in our children, we are also investing in our most audacious freedom dreams and our most impossible future worlds. The children of Gaza, and indeed all of Palestine, are no different. Driven by this commitment, we have decided to assemble an anthology that prioritizes children. We hope to contribute to the present moment of radical resistance and revolutionary possibility by placing the lives, experiences, conditions, feelings, perspectives and stories of the region's children at the center of our social, cultural, moral, legal and political analysis. For this anthology, we have chosen to exclusively spotlight the voices of Black, Brown and Jewish American writers. In foregrounding Black, Brown and Jewish identities, including those writers who identify as both Black and Jewish, we hope to refute several dangerous myths about Black, Brown and Jewish Americans on the question of Israel/Palestine.
