understanding of oppression into an emotional one' - New Statesman
'Thanks for being who you are and for giving us such exposure to
wonderful people. Palestine is proud of you' - Suad Amiry
________________ The Palestine Festival of Literature was
established in 2008. Bringing together writers from all corners of
the globe, it aims to help Palestinians break the cultural siege
imposed by the Israeli military occupation, to strengthen their
artistic links with the rest of the world, and to reaffirm, in the
words of Edward Said, 'the power of culture over the culture of
power'. Celebrating the tenth anniversary of PalFest, This Is Not a
Border is a collection of essays, poems and stories from some of
the world's most distinguished artists, responding to their
experiences at this unique festival. Both heartbreaking and
hopeful, their gathered work is a testament to the power of
literature to promote solidarity and courage in the most desperate
of situations. Contributors: Susan Abulhawa, Suad Amiry, Victoria

whether it is a great epic poem or an honest piece of journalism or
a simple nonsense tale for children is a blow against the forces of
stupidity and ignorance and darkness ... The Palestine Festival of
Literature exists to do just that - and I salute it for its work.
Not only this year but for as long as it is necessary' - Philip
Pullman
