Angela Davis’ endorsement of Ilan Papp\u00e9 and Ramzy Baroud’s ‘Our Vision for Liberation’. (Infographic: Zarefah Baroud)<\/p><\/div>\n

The \u2018fascinating book\u2019, which has received raving reviews from iconic intellectuals around the world, provides a rare view of the future of Palestine, as articulated by nearly 30 engaged Palestinian scholars from Palestine and across the shatat, the Diaspora.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt a time when the world desperately needs hope and guidance toward habitable futures, these moving visions of a decolonized, democratic and free Palestine will resonate wherever collective yearnings for freedom have survived,\u201d iconic American activist, intellectual and Professor Angela Davis wrote, adding, \u201cPalestinian intellectuals, activists and artists are a beacon, both for the future of Palestine and the destiny of our globe.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This view was shared by renowned Australian journalist John Pilger who described the book as an \u201coutstanding anthology\u201d, with an \u201celoquent logic\u201d, which demonstrates that \u201cPalestine will be free, like a seed beneath the snow\u201d.<\/p>\n

For his part, South African author, politician and anti-apartheid activist Ronnie Kasrils said that this book is \u201ca death knell to Zionist fantasy and imperialist domination\u201d as \u201cevery page breathes the scent of freedom\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

British filmmaker Ken Loach and Indian historian Vijay Prashad agreed, along with world-famous English musician and activist, Roger Waters, who described Pappe-Baroud\u2019s volume as \u2018fascinating\u2019.<\/p>\n

Professor and author, Jeremy Salt, stated that these \u201cessays send a clear message to the racist apartheid occupiers of Palestine\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Published by Clarity Press<\/a>, the book promises to offer a way forward in nearly thirty different fields of popular resistance, including archeology, history, culture, media, sports, language, politics and diplomacy.<\/p>\n
