Summary:

"The Arabic word sumūd often translates as "steadfastness" or "standing fast." Today, it is a Palestinian cultural value of perseverance and nonviolent resistance in the face of Israeli occupation and genocide. In times of devastation, poetry, literature, and art are the mediums through which oppressed citizens of the world reveal cherished aspects of their existences. Sumūd: A New Palestinian Reader expresses the Palestinian spirit and its cultural power, even in the face of oppression, occupation, and war. When too many world governments turn a blind eye to the genocide and the dilapidation of a sacred homeland, the Palestinian people stand fast and resist. The fifty-eight contributions in this collection remind readers that just as love perseveres, so do the Palestinians, and their struggles and triumphs"-- Provided by publisher.
