Shortlisted: Andrew Murray—Desmond Tutu Prize
A must-read book on Israel and Palestine

  • 21 Voices is a pioneering work on Palestine-Israel, providing clarity amid the propaganda and disinformation.
  • The book's narrative style presents this ethically accountable, acclaimed research in a manner that is widely accessible.
  • It is a book with international appeal. It is for thought-leaders, politicians, theologians, and for any persons interested in constructive transformation rooted in international law.
  • Why advocate for Palestine? The book addresses this question in three parts: the first section details the author's grassroots work in Palestine and Israel and her personal shift from passive oppressor to scholar-activist. The next and main section features conversations with 21 Israelis and South Africans active in the Palestinian struggle. The conclusion reflects on the personal, national, and global implications of this contentious issue.
  • 21 Voices focuses a contextual lens on multiple contemporary challenges, including issues of double standards in international human rights laws. It also attests to the transformative power of the ordinary citizen.
  • The text is complemented by photographs, maps, tables, and detailed explanations of often-used terms.
  • 21 Voices reads like a lively report from the frontlines... a remarkable outcome in which scholarship and journalism, enlivened by passion and insight, combine to inform and convince – John de Gruchy

    I cannot remember ever having been moved as profoundly, as searingly and as painfully... It is a testimony to the immense bravery of the individual and communal spirit. – Breyten Breytenbach

    There is no other book of this kind on the market... It will help readers understand why the plight of the Palestinians concerns all of us. – Sakkie Spangenberg
