Daybreak in Gaza: Stories of Palestinian Lives and Culture

‘This astonishing book opened my eyes to the brutality that is being visited upon Gaza, and to the humanity of those suffering it. I hope we can all learn something – about steadfastness, about dignity – from them. Please read it.’ -- Brian Eno

‘These authors’ lives have been utterly devastated, but we can preserve their vital voices. Daybreak in Gaza must be shared with the world.' Fatima Bhutto

‘A necessary, profoundly moving collection. At once a lyrical overview of a rich cultural landscape, and a devastating indictment of genocide, and of culture’s destruction.' -- China Miéville

‘A most significant collection, one that frightens, awes and inspires, the timeliest of reminders of our common humanity and the irrepressible force of the written word.’ Philippe Sands

‘A love letter to Gaza. A heartbreaking testament to the beauty and courage of Palestinian people in the face of extraordinary brutality.’ Isabella Hammad

‘This is a book that carries the promise of a new day, or a dawning – a book that looks forward, but does so also by looking back over 4,000 years of history. [Daybreak in Gaza] is a collection of brave, resilient, heartbreaking, defiant, scared stories. … If this extraordinary volume tells us anything, it is that Gaza and Palestine will endure, the monuments will be restored and one day Palestinians will again watch the day break in peace.’ -- The Spectator

‘Daybreak in Gaza is therefore an important attempt to preserve a culture under attack and will be an early contribution to a body of literature that will likely be studied for decades to come.’ --Middle East Eye

‘Daybreak in Gaza seeks to push back against the dehumanization at the heart of the Gaza genocide by illuminating the human spirit of a place under attack.’-- Mondoweiss

‘[Daybreak in Gaza paints] a picture that eviscerates media stereotypes of Gaza as a valueless slum, offering heartwarming – and heartbreaking – glimpses of Palestinian humanity amid the horror.' -- This Week in Palestine
