Book Club with Amplify Bookstore: Palestine Edition

What is it to hold the heartbreak of facing a world of systemic injustice, and turn it into energy and meanignful action?

We're joined by Inez, a radio broadcaster on 3CR's Thursday Breakfast, community organiser and mental health worker. An intimate chat on navigating hurt and anger of dealing with systemic injustice, processing the recent Indian election and its impact, and how a solidarity with Falasteen has nurtured a retuning to their Sikh faith. 

In this spirit, Inez has shared some foundational texts and further reading - "these thoughts and sentiments follow a long lineage of radical Black, Indigenous, and/or Muslim female writers, organisers, and revolutionaries - long before me"
Dr Ayesha Khan: Care, Relationships and Direct Action
Audre Lorde: Your Silence Won't Protect You
Palestinian Narrative Therapy book - "Responding to Trauma That is Not Past" written by Palestinians trauma counsellors and psychologists and ex-detainees.

#155 The Sacredness of Anger and Uprising

There are no universities left in Gaza. 

Alicia Zhao & Samantha Haran take us through the university encampments in solidarity with Gaza, a soundscape of the Student Intifada. Field recordings from across so-called australia and a foundational teach in by Gumbaynggirr, Bundjalung, Dunghutti educator and poet Lizzie Jarrett. 

Even in lulls and in the quiet, you can hear it. You can hear the possibility of another world brewing.

In the spirit of collective action there were many people that made this piece possible. This piece was produced by Samantha Haran & Alicia Zhao; Scripting, USYD & UNSW recordings by Samantha Haran; Soundscapes by Alicia Zhao & Mateo Baskaran; Teach in by Lizzie Jarrett, co-organised and recording assisted by Rand Khatib; UQ recordings by Anna Carlson; Creative direction and final mixing and sound design by Shareeka Helaluddin
