About Noura's new book, "Justice for Some: Law and the Question of Palestine":
"Erakat...argues that the skillful use of international law as a tool of struggle can be generative of hope and possibility-for Palestine and the world. 'Justice for Some' is precisely the book we need at this time." Angela Davis, author of 'Freedom Is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson, Palestine, and the Foundations of a Movement'
"Without any doubt, 'Justice for Some' is the best book on the law and politics of the Palestine/Israel struggle-sophisticated, learned, humane, and creative." Richard Falk, Former UN Special Rapporteur for Palestine
"Noura Erakat communicates...with the skill of a lawyer and the passion of an activist. 'Justice for Some' is both enriching and inspiring."-Raja Shehadeh, founder of Al-Haq, independent Palestinian human rights organization.
