"Palestine Photo Collection: Expulsion, Destruction, Struggle, and Liberation" is a photobook photographed by Ryuichi Hirokawa and published in 1977 by the PLO Welcome Rally Executive Committee. Hirokawa has been covering the Middle East since the 1970s, facing war and social issues on the ground. This collection represents the fruits of his early reporting on Palestine, and was produced against the backdrop of a period of growing civil society movements and international solidarity. This book aims to convey the situation at the time to Japanese readers through photographs documenting expulsion, destruction, refugee life, and resistance. The end of the book includes a text by Yoshio Katsura, in which he expresses his innermost thoughts about war memories and the uncertainty of everyday life. The photographs, which serve as a record from the outside, and the text, which serves as testimony from the inside, combine to create a book that quietly conveys the atmosphere of tension and solidarity that marked the 1970s.
