Book Review | Rising for Palestine: Africans in Solidarity for Decolonisation & Liberation

Abstract

Rising for Palestine ‘is, finally, a book about memory and duty. It remembers … Namibia’s genocide … that Congo’s dead number over six million since 1996 … that Western Sahara remains Africa’s last colony. And it insists that to remember any of these is to remember Palestine. The coloniser, the book argues, wants us to see each struggle as separate, contained, manageable. Solidarity is the refusal of that fragmentation.
