"Born in Rafah, raised in Gaza, subjected both to Israeli bombs and to Islamist tyranny, against the threats of prison, violence, and death, faced with misogyny and repression, Asmaa Alghoul has spoken her truth by any means necessary. She has continued to live and to love, to laugh, to write, to dream, and to protest. In this moving memoir of growing up in Gaza with a hunger for freedom and a passionate attachment to the place she calls home, Alghoul recounts her lifelong resistance to religious fanaticism, state sponsored violence, and all forms of repression and subjugation. She has been labelled 'too strong minded,' criticized for not covering her hair, derided for ignoring warnings and speaking out against injustice. Her pure, clarion voice is raised wholly in support of dialogue, peace, love, and honesty. Nothing, it seems, can stop her. An intimate look into life, politics, and survival in Gaza, Alghoul's A Rebel in Gaza offers readers a nuanced and singular perspective on what is perhaps the world's most enduring and urgent conflict"-- Provided by publisher.
