Description
By: Ramzy Baroud
The social, political, and historical context of the current Israeli-Palestinian War told through the stories of the author’s family and village.
"Ramzy Baroud's sensitive, thoughtful, searching writing penetrates to the core of moral dilemmas."—Noam Chomsky
A profound exploration of Palestinian history and resilience through the personal stories of the author’s family—the al-Badrasawi’s. Beginning with intimate details of village life in Beit Daras prior to the Nakba, Ramzy Baroud vividly portrays the rich cultural heritage, deeply rooted traditions, and daily struggles faced by ordinary people whose lives were radically disrupted by the violent upheavals and ongoing conflicts driven by British colonialism and Zionist aggression.
Baroud weaves together past and present, illuminating how historical forces shaped the collective consciousness and steadfast resilience of the Palestinian people. His storytelling reveals not only the harsh realities of occupation, displacement, and loss but also the extraordinary courage, faith, and solidarity that underpin a powerful and enduring spirit of resistance, encapsulated in what the author refers to as the Palestinian “longue durée.” Ultimately, Baroud aims to humanize and reclaim Palestinian narratives from distorted portrayals, highlighting their perseverance and the universal quest for justice and liberation.
