Description

A book that calls us to witness our place in history Sally Rooney

An urgent and moving essay on the Palestinian struggle and the power of narrative from the Womens Prize shortlisted author of Enter Ghost.

Award-winning author Isabella Hammad delivered the Edward W. Said Lecture at Columbia University nine days before 7 October 2023. The text of Hammads seminal speech and her afterword written in the early weeks of 2024 together make up a searing appraisal of the war on Palestine during what feels like a turning point in the narrative of human history.

Moving and erudite, Recognising the Stranger is a brilliant melding of literary and cultural analysis in which Hammad sheds true light on the Palestinian struggle for freedom.

'Hammad shows us how the Palestinian struggle is the story of humanity itself, and asks us not to look away but to see ourselves' MAX PORTER

'A reminder of the radical potential of reading and the possibility of change' OLIVIA SUDJIC

'Extraordinary and amazingly erudite' RASHID KHALIDI
