This September, Sendb00ks brings you Voices of the Resistance.
This powerful collection of diaries by four poets from Gaza —Batool Abu Akleen, Sondos Sabra, Nahil Mohana, and Ala’a Obaid — is an invaluable literary work offering urgent, essential testimonies. Their words capture the lived reality of recent years under occupation in Gaza.
The book sleeve features a photograph by 20 year old Batool Abu Akleen, taken in Gaza in 2022. While speaking over Whatsapp, Batool tells us "For me, this is the most important way of reading, just reading the world around you, looking deeply at things.”
Praise for Voices of the Resistance
This is the most powerful work of collective testament I have ever read. It is a breathtaking and spirit-forging book. It tells it as it is. It could not be more crucial or more urgent. Read it now.’ — Ali Smith
‘An extraordinary book. Voices of Resistance opens a rare window into the reality of young women living under brutal siege in the 21st century: their loss, terror and grief; their hope, ingenuity, curiosity and humour as well as despair. These testimonials come straight from hell, and yet – read them, you’ll see – they are radiant with undiminished life.’ — Olivia Laing
All profits will be shared between the diarists and the Tamer Institute for Community Education, where Nahil Mohana works on the ground in Gaza.
