Picador, an imprint of Pan Macmillan, has acquired the rights to publish No Land to Stand On: Protest, Palestine and Being Unfree in America, the powerful and deeply personal memoir by Mahmoud Khalil. Set to release in September 2026, this searing account is described as a “heartbreaking, era-defining testament to the cost of dissent” and a rallying cry for justice.
Khalil’s memoir offers an unflinching exploration of protest, identity, and the struggle for freedom, both in Palestine and within the broader context of systemic oppression in America. It is a story of courage against authoritarianism, resilience in the face of adversity, and the relentless pursuit of liberation.
A Voice for the Voiceless
No Land to Stand On is more than a personal narrative—it is a defining work of our time, capturing the emotional and political weight of living as an unfree people. Khalil’s voice has long been a force in conversations about justice, activism, and the Palestinian experience, making this memoir a highly anticipated release.
“It is an honour and a privilege to publish Mahmoud,” said Picador’s editorial team. “This book is not just a memoir; it is a call to action, a testament to courage, and a vital contribution to the global discourse on freedom and human rights.”

It challenges readers to confront uncomfortable truths while offering a message of hope and resilience. With its release just months away, the memoir is poised to spark conversations, inspire movements, and leave a lasting impact on literature and society.
