Who are the Palestinians? In this compelling book of interviews,
Arthur Neslen reaches beyond journalistic cliches 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.
