Voices of resistance : diaries of genocide / by Abu Akleen, Batool,author.; Mohana, Nahil,author.; Obaid, Ala'a,author.; Sabra, Sondos,author.; Harker, James(Editor),editor.; Page, Ra,1972-editor.; Ghalayini, Basma,1983-editor,translator.; Slovo, Gillian,1952-writer of foreword.; Churchill, Caryl,writer of introduction.;
Includes bibliographical references."For two years, the world has witnessed image after devastating image from Israel's genocide in Gaza: videos, photos, and Instagram reels showing blanket bombardment, cities in ruin, and entire families pulled from the rubble of their homes. Such enormity can be difficult to process, but behind each image lie ordinary lives full of hope, love and community. In these diaries, four Gazan women -- Batool Abu Akleen, Sondos Sabra, Nahil Mohana and Ala'a Obaid -- offer first-hand accounts of Israeli airstrikes, forced displacement and engineered famine. These atrocities are documented alongside the everyday defiance of Palestinians: from the neighbour who fashions an ashtray from the shrapnel of an Israeli missile, to the street vendor who donates his last egg for a child's birthday cake, to the community of displaced people who pool their resources to stage a traditional wedding. Even when displaced, under fire, forced to bury loved ones, or thrown on the mercy of a devastated health system, the writers of these diaries never abandon their humanity, their individuality, or their belief in the future of Gaza. These are not stories of pity; these are stories filled with love, humour, and the beauty of Palestinian people and culture. In the face of genocide, the existence of these diaries, like the very survival of their authors, is an act of resistance"--

Voice for the voiceless : over seven decades of struggle with China for my land and my people / by Bstan-ʼdzin-rgya-mtsho,Dalai Lama XIV,1935-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.The Dalai Lama has had to contend with the People's Republic of China for his entire life. He was sixteen when Communist China invaded Tibet in 1950, nineteen when he had his first meeting with Chairman Mao in Beijing, and twenty-five when he was forced to escape to India and became a leader in exile. In the decades since, he has faced Communist China's leaders ... Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao, and Xi Jinping ... in his efforts to protect Tibet and its people, with their distinct language, culture, religion, history, and environment. Now, almost seventy-five years after China's invasion of Tibet, the Dalai Lama reminds the world of Tibet's unresolved struggle for freedom and the hardship his people continue to face in their own homeland. He offers his thoughts on the geopolitics of the region and shares how he personally was able to preserve his own humanity through the profound losses and challenges that threaten the very survival of the Tibetan people. This book captures the Dalai Lama's extraordinary life journey ... discovering what it means to lose your home to a repressive invader and to build a life in exile; dealing with the existential crisis of a nation, its people, and its culture and religion; and envisioning the path forward.
