Beschreibung

It is often the smallest details of daily life that tell us the most. And so it is under occupation in Palestine. What most of us take for granted has to be carefully thought about and planned for: When will the post be allowed to get through? Will there be enough water for the bath tonight? How shall I get rid of the rubbish collecting outside? How much time should I allow for the journey to visit my cousin, going through checkpoints? And big questions too: Is working with left-wing Israelis collaborating or not? What affect will the Arab Spring have on the future of Palestine? What can anyone do to bring about change? Are any of life's pleasures untouched by politics?

Rezensionen


Shehadeh describes howthe destruction of a beloved landscape mirrors the damage to Palestinian identity ... lyrical nature-writing with understated political passion

<i>Palestinian Walks</i> provides a rare historical insight into the tragic changes taking place in Palestine

<i>Palestinian Walks</i> is a stoic account of a particular place, but one which has universal resonance. The judges felt it made landscape into the essence of politics, and political writing into an art
Few Palestinians have opened their minds and their hearts with such frankness</p>
<p>Praise for<i> Palestinian Walks:</i><br><br>'
s account, which is at once gentle and angry, resolute and realistic
Readers would do well to reckon with the painful particulars of Shehadeh'

Shehadeh writes beautifully, his language infused with a lyrical, melancholic sense of loss. An important record of a land marked by conflict that is changing every day

This is a beautiful book and a sad one

Towards any proper understanding of history there are many small paths. I strongly suggest you walk with him

Shehadeh is always engaging ... delivering what many activists neglect to mention: the odd, slightly absurd details that really touch people; things that appear off camera, away from news reports
