Each day after school, Mohammed El-Kurd's grandmother welcomed him
at the door of his home with a bouquet of jasmine. Her name was
Rifqa-she was older than Israel itself and an icon of Palestinian
resilience. With razor-sharp wit and glistening moral clarity,
El-Kurd lays bare the brutality of Israeli settler colonialism. His
poems trace Rifqa's exile from Haifa to his family's current
dispossession in Sheikh Jarrah, Jerusalem, exposing the cyclical
and relentless horror of the Nakba. El-Kurd's debut collection
definitively shows that the Palestinian struggle is a revolution,
until victory.

Rifqa is Mohammed El-Kurd's debut collection of poetry, written in
the tradition of Ghassan Kanfani's Palestinian Resistance
Literature. The book narrates the author's own experience of
dispossession in Sheikh Jarrah--an infamous neighborhood in
Jerusalem, Palestine, whose population of refugees continues to
live on the brink of homelessness at the hands of the Israeli
government and US-based settler organizations. The book, named
after the author's late grandmother who was forced to flee from
Haifa upon the genocidal establishment of Israel, makes the
observation that home takeovers and demolitions across historical
Palestine are not reminiscent of 1948 Nakba, but are in fact a
continuation of it: a legalized, ideologically-driven practice of
ethnic cleansing.
Powerful, poetic meditations on motherhood, sisterhood,
spirituality, solidarity, displacement/gentrification, racism, and
sexism. Textured with the sights and sounds of growing up in East
New York in the nineties, to school on the South Side of Chicago,
all the way to the olive groves of Palestine, My Mother Is a
Freedom Fighter is Aja Monet's ode to mothers, daughters, and
sisters the tiny gods who fight to change the world. Complemented
by striking cover art from Carrie Mae Weems, these stunning poems
tackle racism, sexism, genocide, displacement, heartbreak, and
grief, but also love, motherhood, spirituality, and Black joy.
