7 Books on Palestine from Diverse Perspectives

A curated list of seven books offers alternative perspectives on the Palestinian conflict, covering history, politics, feminism, food, and decolonization. The selection includes Andreas Malm's "Distruggere la Palestina, distruggere il pianeta" (2025, Ponte delle Grazie), linking fossil fuel imperialism to Gaza; Franco "Bifo" Berardi's "Pensare dopo Gaza" (2025, Timeo), examining psychic trauma after Gaza; Enrico Bartolomei, Diana Carminati, and Alfredo Tradardi's "Gaza e l'industria israeliana della violenza" (2025, DeriveApprodi), framing Gaza as a paradigm of contemporary violence; Somdeep Sen's "Decolonizzare la Palestina" (2023, Meltemi), analyzing Hamas's dual role post-2006; Silvia De Marco's "Ricette di confine" (2018, Effequ), using Palestinian cuisine as civil language; Nada Elia's "La Palestina è una questione femminista" (2024, Edizioni Alegre), centering Palestinian women's resistance; and Ian Black's "Nemici e vicini" (2018, Einaudi), a century-long history of conflict. The list was published on Artribune in October 2025, compiled by Dario Moalli.
