Gaza - The Story of a Genocide: Malaka Shwaikh and Shareef Sirhan

✍ Human Rights, Non-fiction, Collection of work

Gaza: The Story of a Genocide, edited by Fatima Bhutto and Sonia Faleiro, is an urgent and powerful collection of personal testimony, poetry, photography, art, and frontline reportage. Together, these works bear witness to the vast and ongoing destruction inflicted on the Palestinian people—their lives, their land, and their future.

We’re honoured to be joined by two contributors to the book, Malaka Shwaikh and Shareef Sarhan for an important and wide-ranging discussion.

Malaka is an associate lecturer at the University of St Andrews. She has published a book (co-authored with Professor Rebecca Ruth Gould), multiple articles and book chapters on the politics of hunger strikes, the limits of resilience, and the Palestinian question. 

Shareef is a visual artist and photographer. He is the founding member of Shababeek for Contemporary Art and an active member of the Association of Palestinian Artists. His work has garnered several accolades, including a recognition award in 2007 and the Bronze Award from the Festival of Arab photographers in 2008.
