Soul of all Souls : Palestine Decolonizing Us by Shazra Ibrahim , Rana Ahmed Hameed | Book Review
In Soul of All Souls, Shazra Ibrahim takes us on a deeply emotional and unflinching journey through the colonization of Palestine and how it mirrors the global legacy of imperial violence.
The book uncovers the brutal history of the Nakba, where over 750,000 Palestinians were displaced in 1948, and continues to highlight how that trauma still echoes today. Through layered narratives, the authors connect the ongoing genocide in Gaza to the roots of Western colonialism, Zionism, and global systems of power.
With stark clarity, it outlines every brutality from snipers, bombings, checkpoints, apartheid walls, and state-sanctioned oppression.
The authors remind us that while colonisation may take different forms, its root is always the same: domination through power. The author explained everything clearly, from the old times when people were forced to leave their homes to what’s still happening now. Some parts were sad and hard to read, but they felt necessary and real
Soul of all Souls is a necessary, uncomfortable, and deeply moving read. It forces you to confront narratives of histories. It’s not just a book for reading. It’s a book for contemplation.
