This groundbreaking and provocative 270-page volume features over 50 full-color images and serves as both an artistic intervention and a historical record of resistance, uniting protest graphics and poetry to document and amplify the Palestinian struggle for self-determination.๐๐ณ๐ต ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐ฆ๐ง๐ช๐ข๐ฏ๐ค๐ฆ gathers acclaimed and emerging writers who confront occupation, colonialism, displacement, state violence, and liberation while forging transnational solidarity. Contributors include Refaat Alareer, Susan Abulhawa, Saul Williams, Huda Skaik, Nour Aldeen Hajjaj, Khaled Mattawa, Hiba Abu Nada, meital yaniv, Yousef Dawas, Basman Aldirawi, Ibrahim Yaghi, Omar Faris Abu Shaweesh, Ahmad Alsouq, Saleem Al-Naffar, Def Sound, Alexandra Isfahani-Hammond, poets affiliated with the We Are Not Numbers (WANN) project, and others. Several of these poets โ Alareer, Abu Nada, Dawas, Abu Shaweesh, Aldeen Hajjaj, and Al-Naffar โ were martyred after October 7, 2023. Their final words serve as enduring records in a long and ongoing history of dissent.
Alongside these poets is the work of LOUDER THAN WORDS, an intergenerational, cross-cultural team that wields posters as weapons against Israeli settler colonialism, U.S. imperialism, and the systemic erasure of Palestinians by Western corporate media. Their visually arresting graphics, created in the wake of October 7, 2023, advocate for an end to state violence and occupation, the obstruction of humanitarian aid, arms embargoes, the right of return, and boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS). These powerful pairings of word and image testifies to the enduring power of artistic ingenuity in the face of oppression and stands as a powerful reminder that resistance is, above all, an act of imagination.
