Speak, Bird, Speak Again - Palestinian Arab Folktales (Paperback): Ibrahim Muhawi, Sharif Kanaana Speak, Bird, Speak Again - Palestinian Arab Folktales (Paperback)
Ibrahim Muhawi, Sharif Kanaana; Foreword by Alan Dundes, Ibtisam Barakat
R608 R498 Discovery Miles 4 980 Save R110 (18%) Ships in 12 - 19 working days

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.

Balcony on the Moon - Coming of Age in Palestine (Paperback): Ibtisam Barakat Balcony on the Moon - Coming of Age in Palestine (Paperback)
Ibtisam Barakat
R410 Discovery Miles 4 100 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Picking up where Tasting the Sky left off, Balcony on the Moon follows Ibtisam Barakat through her childhood and adolescence in Palestine from 1972 to 1981 and chronicles her desire to be a writer. Ibtisam finds inspiration through writing letters to pen pals and from an adult who encourages her to keep at it, but the most surprising turn of all for Ibtisam happens when her mother decides that she would like to seek out an education, too. This memoir is a touching, at times funny, and enlightening look atthe not often depicted daily life in a politically tumultuous area.
