<p>Hammad's book gives voice to people of Bil'in and will resonate with readers interested in natives defending their land and livelihoods. The text leads to better understanding of how freedom will come despite incredible odds thanks to sumud, active resistance and resilience.</p>
- Mazin Qumsiyeh, Professor and Director of Palestine Institute for Biodiversity and Sustainability, Bethlehem University; author of Popular Resistance in Palestine,
<p>At once scholarly and deeply personal, this highly readable book tells a story of how it feels to be at the receiving end of a colonial occupation. It is an intimate account of what people do when their community gets partitioned, lands taken away, and daily life disrupted. This is one of the best books I have read on the everyday of the Israeli colonization of the Palestinian lifeworld and resistance against it.</p>
