I am in no way an expert on this topic but me and my reading circle has been meaning to incorporate more Palestine Genocide relevant books in our readings.

Books by Palestinian authors or that highlight Gaza.

free palestine!!

a comprehensive list of books from each country in asia including books I want to read and have read! some countries have multiple books listed, but for starters each will have at least 1.

Poetry from Palestinian writers

Non-fiction books about Palestine currently, it's history, and its people. Including poetry. These are important books, and some of them are must-reads to understand the oppression of Palestine. Don't forget them. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Poetry from Southwest Asian and North African writers

Reading is resistance. Palestine WILL be free!

PALESTINIAN AUTHORS & WRITERS (including half-Palestinian or of Palestinian heritage) ❗️includes translated titles ❗️some books are not available on Pagebound; more can be found on my Storygraph & Instagram accounts

Poetry has a long history of being used to speak on injustices, raise awareness, and provide social commentary. Diversify your poetry shelves with these poets that speak on their experiences navigating marginalization. Would love recommendations!

This list focuses on works by authors of Palestinian origin - poets, novelists, historians, and essayists - whose voices reflect the lived experiences, culture, and resistance of the Palestinian people.

I’ve read We Call to the Eye & the Night: Love Poems by Writers of Arab Heritage (2023; edited and with an introduction by Hala Alyan & Zeina Hashem Beck) at the turnover of 2025 and 2026. This list was made in February 2026. There are collections, chapbook, anthologies and poetry periodicals the authors have appeared in that I could find. Follow to engage with poetry by authors of Arab Heritage.

beautifully written poetry collections by BIPOC that are underrated or not as well known

Adding books to this list as I read them. Palestine will forever hold a dear place in my heart and I am always striving to hear more of the stories of the people there.

poetry is a powerful tool for resistance!
