In solidarity with the Palestinian struggle against settler-colonial occupation, Ward is launching its Palestine Resource Collection, a platform compiling resources spanning across different genres and formats. Through these novels, short stories, academic papers, films and other miscellaneous resources, Ward aims to display its solidarity with the Palestinian struggle for liberation and its condemnation of efforts to normalize occupation as an independent platform in the Gulf. 
Ward believes solidarity with decolonial struggles for liberation requires a commitment to active study and self-education. The resources in the Palestine Resource Collection center Palestinian history and perspectives as the primary lens through which this self-education occurs. 
We invite our readers, artists, and everyone to submit their suggestions for resources to add on to our Collection. The submission form can be found at the end of this list.
