Unlike most other Palestinian cities, Ramallah is a relatively new
town, a de facto capital of the West Bank allowed to thrive after
the Oslo Peace Accords, but just as quickly hemmed in and
suffocated by the Occupation as the Accords have failed. Perched
along the top of a mountainous ridge, it plays host to many
contradictions: traditional Palestinian architecture jostling
against aspirational developments and cultural initiatives, a
thriving nightlife in one district, with much more conservative,
religious attitudes in the next. Most striking however - as these
stories show - is the quiet dignity, resilience and humour of its
people; citizens who take their lives into their hands every time
they travel from one place to the next, who continue to live
through countless sieges, and yet still find the time, and
resourcefulness, to create. Translated by Basma Ghalayini,
Alexander Hong, Thoraya El-Rayyes, Mohammed Ghalaieny, Raph
Cormack, Adam Talib, Yasmine Seale, Andrew Leber, Emre Bennett
& Raph Cohen.
