Raja Shehadeh was born into a successful Palestinian family with a
beautiful house overlooking the Mediterranean. When the state of
Israel was formed in 1948 the family were driven out to the
provincial town of Ramallah. There Shehadeh grew up in the shadow
of his father, a leading civil rights lawyer. He vowed not to
become involved in politics or law but inevitably did so and became
an important activist himself. In 1985 his father was stabbed to
death. The Israeli police failed to investigate the murder properly
and Shehadeh, by then a lawyer, set about solving the crime that
destroyed his family. In Strangers in the House, Shehadeh recounts
his troubled and complex relationship with his father and his
experience of exile - of being a stranger in his own land. It is a
remarkable memoir that combines the personal and political to
devastating effect.
