By combining their expertise in English literature and
anthropology, Ibrahim Muhawi and Sharif Kanaana bring to these
folktales an integral method of study that unites a sensitivity to
language with a deep appreciation for culture. As native
Palestinians, the authors are well suited to their task. Over the
course of several years, they collected tales from the regions of
the Galilee, Gaza, and the West Bank, determining which were the
most widely known and appreciated and selecting the ones that best
represent the Palestinian Arab folk narrative tradition. Great care
has been taken with the translations to maintain the original
flavor, humor, and cultural nuances in tales that are at once
earthy and whimsical and that also parallel stories found in the
larger Arab folk tradition. Featuring a new foreword by Ibtisam
Barakat, Speak, Bird, Speak Again is an essential text in
Palestinian culture and a must for those who want to deepen their
understanding of an enduring people.
