Steadfastness

About this book

Steadfastness opens a door onto lives that refuse defeat, tracing Palestinian memory from Deir Yassin to the events known as Al-Aqsa Flood. Ibrahim Basem writes of Noor, who records her final wishes; a child emerging from rubble in search of his mother; and a boy meeting death with a verse and a farewell kiss. The work begins with Gaza's beauty before confronting devastation. It is not merely documentation of death, but testimony to patience, human dignity, and the conviction that land, truth, and memory cannot be silenced.
