"[...] a multi-faceted and multi-layered collection that addresses literary and aesthetic production concerning the Palestine/Israel conflict since the Second Intifada from different - and at times, contesting and far away - points of departure. [...] the book also offers itself as a case of representing literature without ignoring its diverse perspectives, approaches, and positions that are, too, located within power dynamics and conflict.--Ido Fuchs, Tel Aviv University ""Contemporary Levant"" With its emphasis that looks beyond (and before) nation-statehood to social liberation from oppression, to autonomy, and to personal and social rights, this collection maps important shifts in Palestinian cultural and social imagination. --Mary Layoun, Emerita Professor of Comparative Literature, University of Wisconsin Madison"
