The first book about the global student movement in solidarity with Palestine, ‘Between Palestine and us’ documents and recounts the student uprising in Amsterdam in May 2024. Denouncing the supposed complicity of their university and government in the destruction of Gaza, student protesters and other activists rose up across the city. They engaged in massive protests, organized encampments and occupations, and built barricades wherever they went. At once an activist archive and counter-history, this book documents the events from the position of the participants. Through art and literature, in addition, it reflects on the necessity and limits of resistance, painting a stirring picture of international solidarity with Palestine.
