On the New Books Network, with Eric LeMay

It was a heartwarming conversation with Eric LeMay from the New Books Network on Palestine 1492: A Report Back.

Eric writes:

“This is a book that so many of us need right now, and by ‘right now,’ I mean that I am recording this in July of 2025, when Palestinians in Gaza are on the verge of mass starvation as a result of a manufactured and illegal famine imposed by the Israeli army. Some 2.2 million people are experiencing ‘acute food insecurity,’ to use the United Nation’s official phrasing for people being illegally deprived of humanitarian aid and forced to starve to death. Right now, we are witnessing horror on a mass scale, made all the more horrible because this is wholly preventable. Right now, we need voices who can help us to understand why this is happening, how it is we got here, and what we might do in response. Quiquivix offers us such a voice. In Palestine 1492, she undertakes a rich and wide-ranging analysis to show us how such colonial violence emerged and how we might resist it. In fact, Quiquivix goes further, sharing with us a political vision that strive toward peace, equality, and mutual acceptance of one another across our differences.”
