On this edition of Cultural workers for Palestine we feature a conversation with author and Palestinian human rights advocate Amy Abdelnoor. Based in Essex, England, Amy is a long time cultural worker and educator and today contributes regularly to The Electronic Intifada. This is an excerpt from Amy's bio:
"While studying English and Arabic at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, she reconnected with her Arab family roots, living in Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon and later under Israeli military occupation in the West Bank during the second intifada.
Her debut novel, Ever Land, grew out of these experiences. It was shortlisted for the 2023 Lucy Cavendish Fiction Prize and has been acquired by Hutchinson Heinemann, Penguin Random House, to be published in 2026.
She now lives in Essex with her husband and three children. Alongside writing and teaching secondary English, she is a member of Critical Collective, a woman’s group advocating against racism and crimes against humanity."
