Women Unsilenced: Hope, Freedom and Music in Palestine - book publication by Prof. Sommer Forester

Congratulations to Prof. Sommer Forester (Music Education) on the publication of the book Women Unsilenced: Hope, Freedom, and Music in Palestine. 

Taken from the publisher's abstract, the book “explores how Palestinian women use music to express, protest, and celebrate their identities. Divided into two parts, the book is told through two different narrative styles. In Part 1, the author uses evocative autoethnography to illuminate their experiences of traveling through Palestine and meeting the women whose stories they tell through narrative case studies in Part 2. They share harrowing accounts of daily life that chronicle the untold stories of women living under military occupation and patriarchal oppression to challenge dominant narratives about Palestinians and women in the Middle East and disrupt assumptions that are rooted in settler-colonialist and imperialist narratives.”
