Palestine Festival of Literature's Bookshop

The Palestine Festival of Literature (PalFest) is an annual festival that takes place in cities across historic Palestine, committed to the creation of language and ideas for combating colonialism in the 21st century.

 

Here on our Bookshop page are some suggestions for readings on Palestine for readers in the UK. It's by no means exhaustive, and not all the titles we'd like to recommend are available. But it is a good start, and for every sale 10% goes to a physical bookshop and 10% goes to running our next festival - so thank you in advance.
