Samid in Palestine, Fateful Triangle
via Nomád - Streams CLOSED AFTER SEPTEMBER 30.
A word learned from
Fateful Triangle by
Noam Chomsky >
Samidin “Between mute submission and blind hate - I choose the third way. I am samid”
“While sumud seems to be a word which is impossible to translate into English, it would be best explained as representing Palestinian steadfastness and resilience. It implies a certain degree of agency and choice in the face of powerlessness. This attitude of sumud is often unnamed and invisible but it is categorized as something typically Palestinian. Sumud is a complex and multi-layered concept and it loses part of its meaning when translated to English.” - If you are writing, you are still alive
