"This book could only be written by Tahrir Hamdi, an esteemed literary scholar from a family rooted in Palestinian resistance politics. Hamdi here models Said's 'intransigent' intellectual, demanding irresistibly that postcolonial studies reclaim its radical roots and, in accounting for Palestine, realign with decolonial politics." --Lindsey Moore, Lancaster University, UK

"Tahrir Hamdi's perspicacious interrogation of works of major Palestinian literary figures and international solidarity poets, concretizes ideas of RETURN, as the Palestinian imaginary. RETURN presupposes the dismantling of Zionist institutions in the process of liberation to build a democratic Palestinian state." --Ibrahim Aoude, University of Hawaii-Manoa, Hawaii
