REVIEWS FOR DIGNITY: AN ANTHOLOGY

‘The Muslim Social Justice Initiative is a beacon of clarity in the current moment. Bracing, devastating and militant – their first anthology is a must read.’ — Ravers for Palestine

‘To read this book is to be held by a community that insists on daring to imagine freedom in the face of annihilation.’ — afshan d’souza-lodhi, playwright

‘Unflinching and necessary, this anthology confronts genocide, racism, and empire — and stands as a testament to human dignity.’ – Lulu, community archivist

‘An urgent, much-needed collection of writing by some of the fiercest emerging voices in literature.’ — Elias Jahshan, Editor of This Arab is Queer

‘By far one of the strongest, most poignant, and devastatingly liberating collections of the past year’ — Parth Sharma, Founder of Trauma Foundation

‘“Dignity” insists that liberation is not granted by recognition but practiced through refusal, care, and steadfastness. This is an anthology that remembers who it is written for, and who it is written against.’ — Thaer Husien, author of beside the sickle moon

‘As so much of what we knew about the world and ourselves has unraveled before our very eyes across these past two years - this anthology comes at an immensely crucial point of the crossroads we find ourselves at. It is a portal back to our collective source; to our humanity. And within that, to our very future.’ - Haydar Ali, rapper, poet and writer
