  "summary": "A new anthology, 'Rising for Palestine', co-edited by Suraya Dadoo and Raouf Farrah, argues that the war in Gaza has exposed the erosion of Africa's tradition of internationalism. It connects the Palestinian struggle to a broader African history of dispossession and resistance, challenging the continent's shift from radical solidarity to diplomatic pragmatism.",
