Muhannad Ayyash) explores Canada-Palestine relations through a settler colonial lens. The contributors argue that there are direct parallels between Canada\u2019s settler colonial project and its support for the Israeli settler colonial dispossession of Palestinians. Chapters reflect on community politics and activism, migration, orientalism, and critical race theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/uap.ualberta.ca\/womens-voices-from-gaza-series\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/uap.ualberta.ca\/womens-voices-from-gaza-series\" target=\"_blank\">Women\u2019s Voices from Gaza Series<\/a>, edited by Ghada Ageel and Barbara Bill, is a group of oral histories that honour women&#8217;s unique and underrepresented perspectives on the social, material, and political realities of Palestinian life.
