"Through essays, stories, poems, photos and art of this timely anthology, there runs the painful realization that one freedom cannot be cancelled with or for another freedom. One needs to fight for both – and all – freedoms at the same time."

– Tabish Khair, award-winning author of Nameste Trump and Other Stories

"By turns enchanting and erudite, humorous and heartbreaking, this collection of folktales, poetry, and memoir provides a fascinating look at queer Palestinian culture and resistance. Boldly addressing the false belief that queerness does not exist in Arab or Middle Eastern culture...For queer Palestinians, the joint liberation struggle is unstoppable, “Intifada—the refusal to disappear. Intifada—our love of the land and one another. Intifada—our future inevitable.” A unique and outstanding anthology. "

"Interlink’s recent publication, Homosexual Intifada, is the perfect encapsulation of our mission of truth-telling and representing Palestine beyond the headlines. It is the first-ever queer Palestinian anthology to be published in the United States. We brought [together] voices from the diaspora, but also from the homeland, with everything from poetry to memoir and speculative fiction. We even have a little bit of fine art in the book as well."
