Purchase options and add-ons
Our Vision for Liberation: Engaged Palestinian Leaders & Intellectuals Speak Out aims to challenge several strata of the current Palestine discourse that have led to the present dead end: the American pro-Israel political discourse, the Israeli colonial discourse, the Arab discourse of purported normalization, and the defunct discourse of the Palestinian factions. None promote justice, none have brought resolution; none bode well for any of the parties involved. Here, an alternative Palestinian view of liberation and decolonization is provided by engaged Palestinian leaders and intellectuals, those who been actively involved in generating an ongoing Palestinian discourse on liberation, taking into account the parameters of their struggle as it now stands.

Drawing on their own remarkable personal experiences and successes -- as archaeologists, artists, authors, community leaders, educators, filmmakers, historians, human rights activists, journalists, lawyers, spiritual leaders, political prisoners, and the like -- they address what now, what next, is to be done, in a manner that reflects not only Palestinian aspirations, but their view of what is possible.

'Liberation' is a term that was dropped from the official Palestinian lexicon simply because it was incompatible with the US-championed political discourse, but it has resurfaced here because without its justice dimensions, there can be no peace. Now that the international community is able to see that Oslo, along with the 'two-state solution' model, has irreversibly failed, the paradigmatic void has opened space for the articulation of new possibilities. Our Vision for Liberation embraces this opportunity to introduce a new Palestinian discourse, one that is able to address current challenges and obstacles to Palestinian rights and freedom, and provide diverse paths, all leading forward.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is a fascinating, great book." -- ROGER WATERS, founding member, Pink Floyd

"These moving visions of a decolonized, democratic and free Palestine will resonate wherever collective yearnings for freedom have survived. Palestinian intellectuals, activists, and artists are a beacon both for the future of Palestine and the destiny of our globe." -- ANGELA DAVIS

"Read this book and you will be strengthened and inspired. It’s a death knell to the Zionist fantasy and imperialist domination." -- RONNIE KASSRILS, South African anti-apartheid icon

"There is eloquent, optimistic logic to this outstanding anthology edited by Ilan Pappe and Ramzy Baroud. It is that Palestine will be free..." -- JOHN PILGER, acclaimed documentary film maker

"It is so important to pay attention to the brave and smart voices of Palestinians, those particularly who are active every day to bring decency and justice into a world getting uglier by the day." -- VIJAY PRASHAD, Indian historian, and director of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research

"The first-hand testimonies in this collection of essays send a clear message to the racist apartheid occupiers of Palestine: your attempts to obliterate us have failed. Here we stand...." -- JEREMY SALT, The Unmaking of the Middle East:

"This book deserves a warm welcome. It celebrates the achievements of Palestinians and the rich diversity of their culture. Clearly, their spirit of resistance is alive and well." -- KEN LOACH, Renowned British filmmaker

“The book’s aim is to promote a vision for the future which has been created by Palestinians themselves, putting them at the forefront of debate and decision-making….
The editors, two of the most distinguished writers on Palestine, are to be congratulated on this book whose positive message and clear-eyed sense of purpose make it an inspirational read.” SUE TURNER, Morning Star.

“Despite the Palestinian struggle being one of the most iconic and easily recognizable in the world, many Palestinians have long argued that they are denied the right to speak for themselves and to define their own narrative. Our Vision for Liberation is therefore an important corrective within the growing literature on Palestine.” A. BUSTOS, Washington Report on Middle Eastern Affairs

“Now that this seminal and historical political work has been launched and is making its way into the world as a new release, the time has come to consolidate its social effectiveness as an instrument of cultural and political struggle. Praise for the editors and the 32 contributing writers cannot be too high.
They have blazed a new strategy for Palestine and the Palestinians, embattled as they are by ongoing Zionist crimes against humanity. It is a strategy of mobilizing the resourceful steadfastness of Palestinian civil society, aided and abetted by international solidarity with this just and noble cause. It is a strategy of maximizing a social and political renewal underway with good prospects of success.” DAVID FARBER, Palestine Chronicle

If one glanced at the cover of Our Vision for Liberation, written by internationally-renowned authors, Dr. Ramzy Baroud, and Dr. Ilan Pappe, and believed the cover to be the most beautiful part of the book, one would be mistaken. (Although an understandable mistake for sure…the Red text featured on the checkered image of the white and Black Keffiyeh is truly mesmerizing). The pages of this book, featuring the stories of over two-dozen Palestinians, based both in the homeland and the diaspora, weave together a narrative that is far too invaluable to not have been shared with the world. There are dozens of parts of this book I could quote, all equally meaningful, and powerful. However, there is one sentence that was spoken by Palestinian-Chilean lawyer Anuar Majluf, Issa, that I think touches the soul of why this book was needed by the world: “Since existence is not a passive act, it has to be fueled through an active memory” (Baroud, Pappe, 2022). Unfortunately, for decades, Palestinian existence itself has been questioned, and this questioning has been fueled by massive propaganda thinktanks, and even common conversation amongst both regressives and “progressives” alike. These stories affirm that not only do Palestinians very much exist, but they are a people, who, above all else, want to live. And just want to be given basic rights as not only refugees (either internal or displaced), but as Palestinians. They want to go home, they want to raise their families without the devastatingly heavy cloud of ethinic cleansing and devastation being sewed into the fabrics of their family histories…in other words, they want recognition that they are, indeed, human. And humans have basic human rights, which, for Palestinians, have been taken away from them systematically, against their will, for centuries. The narratives shared in this collection are raw, emotional, powerful, and serve as a testament that Palestinians do in fact exist. This book is powerful, and truly a masterpiece from cover to cover. Unlearning Zionism can be a challenge, but this book (among all of Dr. Baroud’s and Dr. Pappe’s other books and writings, all of which I personally highly recommend) is a good resource. The Palestinian narrative has been thrown into the darkness, again and again. Baroud and Pappe change this and make this unfair and unjust reality no more. By threading together narratives from Palestinian’s themselves on what the concept of liberation means from an everyday Palestinian perspective (NOT a “leadership” or “representative one,” rather a truly grassroots one), Baroud and Pappe bring another valuable piece to the puzzle that is Palestinian history and narratives that very likely could have otherwise been permanently lost.
This book is deeply moving, and I highly recommend it.
10/10!
