Burning Knowledge, Shattering Lives: Ranganathan's Five Laws in the Shadows of Genocide

Cover of the zine "Ranganathan's Five Laws in the Shadows of Genocide"
"Ranganathan's (1931) Five Laws of Library Science emphasize accessibility, preservation, and the continued growth of knowledge and information. In stark contrast, the physical and cultural genocide in Gaza and Occupied Palestine demonstrates a systemic effort to erase Palestinian history, culture, and education, through the targeted destruction of libraries, archives, and academic institutions. This zine will introduce each of Ranganathan's five laws, and demonstrate how each law has been violated in Gaza and Occupied Palestine, as well as why this is relevant."
