Résister et espérer (Resisting and Hoping) | Double Ponctuation & International Alliance of Independent Publishers

Résister et espérer, (2026, Double Ponctuation & International Alliance of Independent Publishers), pp. 376

The anthology – published in French from Bibliodiversité – brings together 30 authors under the age of 30 from around the world. Including pieces from two Paranda Network writers – Zainab Akhlaqi and Maryam Mahjoba, translated from Dari to French by Sabrina Nouri.

From the small details of everyday life to grand, boundless dreams, their writings tell us where their resistance lies and how they live out their hopes.

With a foreword from Palestinian writer Karim Kattan, the publication invites you to engage with voices from Nigeria and Ukraine, Afghanistan and Brazil, Palestine and Congo, Singapore and Haiti and beyond.

With authoritarianism on the rise, extremism and conflict gain ground, and the planet suffers. It is becoming increasingly difficult to see a way forward. In this context, how can we resist – and how can we hope?
