Abstract

As Palestinian psychologists, clinicians, researchers, and educators we collectively come together to uplift the liberation narratives and work paved by Dr. Ibrahim Makkawi. We recognize the distance that separates us between barriers and borders on the map. However, we remember our ‘sumud’ (steadfastness) that transcends the weight of exile and occupation both locally and internationally. Our love for justice is rooted in our love for the land. We theorize from the flesh of those who touched us with their radical wisdom, such as Makkawi, and we further grow like our olive tree branches nourished with the memories and imprints of radical love on our hearts. The following is a memorial; a set of tributes to honor the life and legacy of Ibrahim.
