Seven Stories Press

We're also offering free downloads of Chris Hedges' new book A Genocide Foretold: Reporting on Survival and Resistance in Occupied Palestine, an intimate and harrowing portrait of Israel and the United States's oppression, occupation, and perpetual violence in Palestine.

We've compiled a selection of titles on U.S. imperialism in Southwest Asia and beyond, ranging from classic texts by Howard Zinn and Arundhati Roy, to Bush-era pamphlets on Iraq and Afghanistan, to contemporary literature on Palestine and Iran by Marjane Satrapi, Omar Zahzah, Ramzy Baroud, and more.

In sharing this account, Baroud offers a personal antidote to the dehumanizing nature of numbers and attention-grabbing headlines released by the media. For the past three years, we've watched from abroad, culpable in our complicity, as Israel has executed a genocide of the Palestinian people (3/4)

To mark the publication of Ramzy Baroud's Before the Flood: A Gaza Family Memoir, we're proud to share Baroud's introduction to the text, a history of Palestine told through a beautiful multigenerational narrative of the author's family. sevenstories.com/blogs/408-th... (1/4)
