Gaza Writes Back is a compelling anthology of short stories from fifteen
young writers in Gaza, members of a generation that has suffered
immensely under Israel's siege and blockade. Their experiences,
especially during and following Israel's 2008-2009 offensive known as
"Operation Cast Lead", have fundamentally impacted their lives and their
writing. Their words take us into the homes and hearts of moms, dads,
students, children, and elders striving to live lives of dignity,
compassion, and meaning in one of the world's most embattled
communities. Readers will be moved by the struggles big and small that
emerge from the well-crafted writing by these young people, and by the
hope and courage that radiate from the authors' biographies.
