Introduction
From: Advocating for Palestine in Canada
$1.70
In the Introduction, the authors explain how the book is about those who advocate for Palestine in Canada and what brought them to Palestinian advocacy, as well as how their advocacy is contingent on challenging the larger far-reaching systems of injustice and structural violence in not only Palestine and Israel but Canada as well. The chapter explores the connections between the anti-colonial struggle between Turtle Island/Canada and Palestine/Israel, outlines a brief history of settler colonialism and the colonization of Canada and the partition of Palestine, and describes the history of advocacy for Palestine in Canada since the 1960’s.
