Daybreak in Gaza: Stories of Palestinian Lives and Culture
edited by Mahmoud Muna and Matthew Teller (Saqi, £14.99)
Jewish journalist Matthew Teller hooks up with Mahmoud Muna, a Palestinian bookseller in Jerusalem, to illuminate Gaza’s vast cultural heritage. Through essays, poems and artwork, Palestinian creatives reflect on their lives under Israeli bombardment, as well as on the territory’s culture. We learn about tatreez (traditional embroidery) and the theatres, libraries and art galleries that once existed in a world teeming with life and creativity.
