About the book
Part of the Voice of Witness oral history series, Palestine Speaks, edited by Mateo Hoke and Cate Malek, presents the first-hand testimonies of Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza.
Narrators include a farmer whose olive trees have been uprooted, a fisherman in Gaza, a student, a nurse, a former political prisoner, an activist against the wall, and families who have lost homes to demolition. In their own words they describe the effects of settlements, checkpoints, imprisonment, the siege and military assaults on their lives, as well as their resilience and hopes.
