Gaza Writes Back

Published by Takween Publishing, "Gaza Writes Back: Short Stories from Young Writers in Gaza, Palestine" is a poignant literary anthology compiled and edited by the late scholar Refaat Alareer. The collection amplifies the voices of fifteen young Gazan authors writing in English, sharing their lived experiences of siege, survival, and loss. Rather than depicting themselves merely as victims, these writers craft intricate narratives filled with resilience, dignity, love, and humanity. The book stands as a testament to the power of literature as a weapon of moral truth, proving that memory and storytelling remain indestructible acts of resistance.

It offers an authentic, raw, and deeply human perspective on Palestine through the literary voices of Gaza's own youth, celebrating resilience through prose.

Human rights advocates, scholars of post-colonial and Palestinian literature, lovers of short stories, and anyone seeking to understand the lived reality and resilience of Gaza.
