Pluto Press Rising for Palestine: Africans in Solidarity for Decolonisation and Liberation

'A much-needed book a wake-up call for Africa, urging the continent not to fall into the trap of the ultraliberal ideologies that have enabled the annihilation of Palestine' - Francesca Albanese What does true global solidarity look like, and how can it help us fight for the oppressed? Rising for Palestine is a groundbreaking anthology that reveals the deep ties between some of the worlds most powerful liberation struggles. For decades, African nations and movements have stood firmly with the Palestinian people. From anti-colonial uprisings and the Pan-African Congress of 1945 to the ongoing fight against Israeli apartheid and Western imperialism, that bond has endured. Bringing together critical contributions from Palestinian and African scholars, intellectuals and activists, they confront the intertwined histories of genocide, apartheid and colonialism, forces that still cast long shadows over the present. Rising for Palestine is a powerful call to action, engaging with these violent and traumatic histories while exploring new avenues for resistance. Autorid: Raouf Farrah, Suraya Dadoo
