What does it means to be Palestinian in the diaspora? This
collection of 100 personal reflections on being Palestinian is the
first book of its kind. Reflecting on Palestinian identity as it is
experienced at the individual level, issues of identity, exile,
refugee status, nostalgia, belonging and alienation are at the
heart of the book. The contributors speak in many voices, exploring
the richness and diversity of identity construction among
Palestinians in the diaspora. Included are contributions from
Palestinians living in the Anglo-Saxon diaspora, mainly the UK and
North America. They come from a variety of professional
backgrounds: business people, lawyers, judges, fiction writers,
poets, journalists (press, TV and radio), film-makers, diplomats
and academics. Men and women, young and old, Christians and Muslims
offer essays, as do Palestinians from different generations (first,
second and third generations). This mix of professional, gender,
faith and generational categories ensures that a variety of voices
are heard. The editor sets the scene with an Introduction, and his
Epilogue deals with issues of identity, exile and diaspora as
concepts that give sense to the personal reflections. Key Features
