Palestine - People, Land, and Solidarity: With Our Own Eyes 1977, 2009, Today
by Barbara Taam (Author), LiMin Taam (Author)
Photojournalism at its best. With camera and pen in hand, they invite you to meet Palestinian people and their beloved homeland across decades. This is “Palestine - People, Land, and Solidarity - With Our Own Eyes: 1977, 2009, Today.”
The extensive photographs introduce you to Palestinian life and resistance in Gaza, Nazareth, Jerusalem, the West Bank, and document early Israeli occupation: settlements in the Jordan Valley and Jerusalem, home demolitions in Gaza, prisons in every municipality. Along the way, we sit down with Yasser Arafat, Abu Iyad, Abu Jihad, Mai Sayegh of the General Union of Palestinian Women, and Abu Hussein of the General Union of Palestinian Workers, who took part in the 1936 general strike.
Ultra-high-resolution GigaPan panoramic photos lay bare the scale and intensity of the Israeli apartheid wall and settlement expansion. Meet Umm Kamel, refusing erasure and fighting Israeli eviction from a makeshift tent just outside her Jerusalem home. Photos and words of today weave a tapestry of voices from the Palestine solidarity movement. Don’t miss “We Resist for Siti’s Laugh.”
