What it Means to be Palestinian by Dina Matar
A collection of personal stories, remembered feelings and reconstructed experiences by different Palestinians whose lives were changed and shaped by history. It tells their stories chronologically through particular phases of the Palestinian national struggle, providing an autobiography of Palestine as a landscape and as a people.
'These are accounts of ordinary people who have striven through the harrowing experience of war and futile negotiation, searching for a life and a place that the rest of the world will respect and protect' - Jon Snow; 'Dina Matar's book presents fragments of memory: of self, people and a vanishing landscape from a lost past whose voices ring painfully in the present. This is a book of discovery, conviction and a labour of love that will appeal to a wide readership.' - Yasir Suleiman, Professor of Modern Arabic Studies and Head of the Department of Middle Eastern Studies, King's College, Cambridge
