Authors of Daybreak in Gaza Reveal an Extraordinary Place and People

Juliette Touma, Mahmoud Muna and Matthew Teller discuss their new book Daybreak in Gaza with Clint Borgen. Jayyab Abusafia is also coauthor of Daybreak in Gaza but wasn't able to attend this interview.

Book Description:

"This was Gaza. A place of humanity and creativity, rich in culture and industry. A place now pulverised and devastated, its entire population displaced by a seemingly endless onslaught.
Today, as its heritage is being destroyed, Gaza’s survivors preserve their culture through literature, music, stories and memories. Daybreak in Gaza is a record of that heritage, revealing an extraordinary place and people. Vignettes of artists, acrobats, doctors, students, shopkeepers and teachers across the generations offer stories of love, life, loss and survival. They display the wealth of Gaza’s cultural landscape and the breadth of its history. This remarkable book humanises the people dismissed as mere statistics and portrays lives full of joy and meaning. Daybreak in Gaza stands as a mark of resistance to the destruction, and as a testament to the people of Gaza."
