Editors Ilan Pappé and Katherine Natanel present conversations with twelve prominent progressive intellectuals about Palestinian liberation and its ties to global justice movements. The interviews feature Angela Y. Davis, Noam Chomsky, Judith Butler, Nadine El-Enany, Gabor Mate, Mustafa Barghouti, Yanis Varoufakis, Paul Gilroy, Elias Khoury, Gayatri Spivak, and Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian. Many conversations took place before October 7th yet remain strikingly relevant to current events. Each scholar-activist connects Palestinian struggles to broader fights against capitalism, imperialism, racism, neo-colonialism, and misogyny. The interviewees examine their own positions while addressing ongoing violence in Palestine. These intimate yet rigorous discussions reveal how Palestinian liberation sits at the center of worldwide justice movements. The book offers readers global perspective and analysis to understand growing solidarity with Palestinian people.
