""When this battle is won, as I am certain it will be, this book will serve as a record of a vital part of the struggle."" --Ali Abunimah, author of The Battle for Justice in Palestine ""Nora Barrows-Friedman skillfully keeps the voices of students front and center in her comprehensive new book In Our Power. Their words--passionate, sharp, and inspiring--capture a movement in a historic moment."" --Rebecca Vilkomerson, executive director, Jewish Voice for Peace ""Not everyone gets a front row seat to see history in the making, but thanks to Nora Barrow-Friedman's new book In Our Power, readers get a compelling view of the rapidly expanding US student movement for Palestinian human rights. Despite fierce opposition, bullying and intimidation, students are strategically changing the US discourse on Palestine and winning support for freedom, justice, and equality. Nora's book gives us portraits of many courageous campus activists, as well as important historical background that puts this special moment of history into context. The collective efforts of the movement generate optimism and promise that truth and justice will prevail."" --Jennifer Bing, American Friends Service Committee, Chicago ""Profoundly inspirational, the personal histories, philosophies, tactics, and hope expressed by university students and gathered here by Ms. Barrows-Friedman show us not just what it is to be an activist, but what it is to be human. This book should be read by all working on this issue, or simply willing to be informed and inspired by these students, who are, as was my daughter Rachel, organizing for justice in Palestine."" --Craig Corrie, cofounder, The Rachel Corrie Foundation ""While the Palestinians resist the occupation of their land, these students have to fight against the occupation of the American mind, caused by decades of pro-Israeli narratives dominating the media. Despite the intimidation and delegitimization they encounter when they organize for justice in Palestine, these students carry on, encouraged by the firm belief that history will be on their side. I am hopeful that the next generation of leaders will understand that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are not just the rights of Americans, but also of Palestinians and people elsewhere."" --Norma Hashem, Viva Palestina Malaysia
