In this compelling book of interviews, Arthur Neslen reaches beyond journalistic clichés to let a wide variety of Palestinians answer the question for themselves. Beginning in the present with Bisan and Abud, two traumatized children from Jenin's refugee camp, the book's narrative arcs backwards through the generations to come full circle with two elderly refugees from villages that the children were named after. Along the way, Neslen recounts a history of land, resistance, exile, and trauma that begins to explain Abud's wish to become a martyr and Bisan's dream of a Palestine empty of Jews. Senior Fatah and Hamas figures relate key events of the Palestinian experience-the Second Intifada, Oslo Process, First Intifada, Thawra, 1967 War, the Naqba, and the Great Arab Revolt of 1936-in their own words. The extraordinary voices of women, children, farmers, fighters, drug dealers, policeman, doctors, and others, spanning the political divide from Salafi Jihadists to Israeli soldiers, bring the Palestinian story to life even as their words sow seeds of hope in the scorched Palestinian earth.Palestinian ArabsWest BankPalestinian ArabsGaza Stripcombat.contemporary palestine.ethnic demographic studies.government and governing.ground force invasions.history.international journalism.israel and palestine history.israel palestine conflict.journalism and politics.journalism in middle east.life in middle east.life of palestinian.middle east and religion.middle east anthropology.middle east politics.middle east war.middle eastern history.military drama.palestine and refugees.palestinian conflict.palestinian history.peace talks.politics and war.Palestinian ArabsPalestinian Arabs305.892/74Neslen Arthur1600455MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823019603321In your eyes a sandstorm3923557UNINA
