'A remarkable achievement and a remarkable book – a wise, courageous, imaginative and beautiful response to all that is ugly in human behaviour.’ - A. L. Kennedy

‘An extraordinary collection, revealing a dynamic and exciting culture in painful transition – a culture where artists are really making a difference ... You need to read this book.’ - Brian Eno

‘The impact [the images] have on the page makes one imagine how much the originals unsettled the Syrian government … Syria Speaks tells us with inspirational force how the Syrians have found the ability to speak out’ - Times Literary Supplement

‘An invaluable and deeply moving testimony to resistance ... this work clamours for liberty and turns its back not only on tyranny but on religious division' - Independent

‘Essential reading for anyone interested in human rights or a better understanding of the current conflict … Syria Speaks pays tribute to many extraordinary acts of courage and shines a light on the dark deeds of a brutal regime.’ - Independent on Sunday

‘For an introduction to the ideas and culture of the original Syrian protesters, one can scarcely do better than Syria Speaks' - New York Review of Books
