Readers wanting a look at the lives of young Palestinians and their society will be hard-pressed to find a better book--Publishers Weekly A must for all those concerned with the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the great value of this contemporary history is that it brings you close-up to the Palestinian people and their politics, revealing the differences among them, differences across generations but also of class, religion, politics, and place... Neither simplistic nor sentimental, Bucaille shows that the conflict with the Israelis is inseparable from the Palestinians' conflict within their own community.--Booklist Like a painter of miniatures, Laetitia Bucaille describes a multitude of small scenes from the lives of young Palestinians, ushering us into a world view in which death gradually comes to occupy the central role... This book offers a richly detailed look at the rise of that political impasse which engenders suicide bombings and the alarming commitment of martyrs.--Gilles Kepel, Le Monde Clear, measured and exacting, Growing Up Palestinian is required reading for anyone who professes to have an opinion about the Middle East.--Mary-Lou Zeitoun, Toronto Globe and Mail Growing Up Palestinian ... concisely opens up whole tableaus of recent Palestinian history and provides a rich basis from which to delve further into that history.--John Collins, Journal of Palestinian Studies
