🧵Seeing a lot of interest in a "Palestine reading list." I wrote this one for an interested colleague last year and thought it might be helpful to some with the huge caveat that this is not comprehensive and no list can ever be (some titles trimmed for space) (1/x):

First, some foundational classics (a lot has changed since these came out, but still applicable and valuable):
1. The Question of Palestine- Edward Said
2. The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine- Ilan Pappe
3. The Gaza Strip: The Political Economy of De-Development- Sara Roy

Newer books, but will likely be classics:
1. The Hundred Years' War on Palestine- Rashid Khalidi
2. Justice for Some: Law and the Question of Palestine- @4noura
3. Freedom Is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson, Palestine, and the Foundations of a Movement- Angela Davis

Others with a unique viewpoint:
1. The Only Language They Understand- @NathanThrall
2. The Way to the Spring: Life and Death in Palestine- @BenEhrenreich
3. Hamas Contained: The Rise and Pacification of Palestinian Resistance- @TareqBaconi

4. Blind Spot: America & the Palestinians- @elgindy_
5. Except for Palestine- @marclamonthill & @MJPlitnick
6. Palestinian Village Histories: Geographies of the Displaced- Rochelle Davis
7. Refugees of the Revolution: Experiences of Palestinian Exile- Diana Allan

Some fiction:
1. Speak, Bird, Speak Again: Palestinian Folktales- Ibrahim Muhawi & Sharif Kanaana
2. Salt Houses- @HalaNAlyan
3. Palestine +100: Stories from a Century after the Nakba- @BasmaGhalayini
4. Mornings in Jenin- @sjabulhawa
5. The Book of Disappearance- Ibitisam Azem

And I couldn't let you go without some cookbooks:
1. Palestine on a Plate: Memories from My Mother's Kitchen- @palestinesplate
2. The Gaza Kitchen: A Palestinian Culinary Journey- @gazamom
3. Craving Palestine: A Cookbook (a fundraising compilation)

And dozens more. Pick a few, read them, challenge yourself, challenge others. Anyone who claims they're the ultimate expert on this topic is wrong. I still learn more all the time, and I hope I never stop learning. Additional must-reads that I missed, feel free to comment below!
