When we chant "from the river to the sea Palestine will be free" we are calling for a one state, one person=one vote where everyone living between the river and the sea is free and treated as a human being with rights and dignity.
THE ROUTLEDGE HANDBOOK OF ARABIC POETRY, forthcoming in December! Co-editing this volume with Suzanne Stetkevych was an honor and a joy! All the gratitude to our brilliant contributors (and our blind reviewers).
