Giving Voice to Stones by Barbara Mckean Parmenter
Explores the Western and Zionist images of Palestine, then draws upon the work of Darwish, Ghassan Kanafani, and other writers to trace how Palestinians have represented their experience of home and exile since the WWI. This title focuses on the struggle between these two people over a land that both divides them and brings them together.
This study provides a useful survey of contemporary Palestinian culture through a reading of the relationship between literature and landDrawing on the methods of both geography and literary criticism, it traces the evolution of what Raja Shehadeh has called a ‘Palestinian "land rhetoric"’ from the late 19th century through the Intifada conflict. * Choice *
