The Best of The Markaz Review 2020-2025 (DIGITAL VERSION)

As a non-profit organization celebrating 5 years of publishing SWANA writers, we released a commemorative edition available in digital and hardcopy.  Our new book captures daily life in Gaza, Beirut, and Baghdad, among many other locales, exploring histories of struggle and resistance, highlighting artists and writers daring to imagine a better future. This landmark anthology is a showcase for cultures from the center of the world, a 7,000-kilometer expanse from Karachi to Casablanca.

The anthology brings together five years of original fiction, essays, poetry, visual art, and reviews. Divided into six thematic sections—Home, War, Revolution, Refugees, Art, Memory, and Hope- contributors include such acclaimed and emerging voices as MK Harb, Ghassan Ghassan, Joumana Haddad, Iason Athanasidis, Mansoura Ez-Eldin, Fadi Zaghmout, Mai Al-Nakib, and Nabil Salih, alongside the artwork of Mohamed Al Mufti and Sara Shamma, among others, and poets including Mona Kareem, Lena Khalaf Tuffaha, and Najwan Darwish.

This is a digital version of the book and you will be able to download it one time only and then the link will expire. As a non-profit organization, we want to say thank you for supporting us with the purchase of our book!
