A new book of photography provides a glimpse into the everyday life of Palestinians before the Nakba. “Against Erasure” is an attempt to show that though “the people of Palestine lost their land, they refuse to lose their history.” https://t.co/VOA47qLeJt

(NEW!) Against Erasure: A Photographic Memory of Palestine Before the Nakba

https://t.co/oyISGdIb4v

A unique, stunning collection of images of Palestine in the late 19th & early 20th centuries & a testament to the vibrancy of Palestinian society prior to occupation

[Jacobin @jacobin]

In the context of Zionist denialism of Palestinian existence, memory, and history, the photographs presented in “Against Erasure” are reminders of a presence that Israel has attempted to destroy multiple times over. https://t.co/VOA47qLeJt

“How the labor of care is framed is important because who society believes needs care and who is expected to provide it shapes national interests and policy decisions.” Aliya Hamid Rao’s review of “Care: The Highest Stage of Capitalism” @premillanadasen ⬇️ https://t.co/L9wFRoOAEc

Il libro fotografico "Against erasure" è una testimonianza visiva della società palestinese prima del 1948. Un modo per ridare valore a una storia e a una memoria che rischiano di essere cancellate, scrive Francesca Gnetti: https://t.co/zkdwR7X8Ik

Against Erasure powerfully documents the realities of Palestinians’ multicultural society in their historic lands as a moving defence against attempts to deny it ever existed, finds Thomas Gibbs https://t.co/S3Q8YrWFGN
