“The Woman I Left Behind”, a novel by Kim Jenson [Book Review]

by | April 2, 2006 | Books, Writings

The Woman I left Behind is much more than an untraditional love story. A Palestinian refugee and a young American woman become equally entangled in the each other’s past, present and future. Their story is interwoven with class struggle, national aspirations, careers, love, and the good and bad of each other’s culture. Both of them, searching for a meaningful relationship, find that courage is needed when they are confronted with the opportunity to learn about themselves through the other.

“Homeland: Oral Histories of Palestine and Palestinians” [Recommended]

by | October 1, 1994 | Books, Writings

Edited by Staughton Lynd, Sam Bahour, and Alice Lynd Throughout the world Palestinians have often been viewed through narrow prisms of “terrorists” or “victims.” This comprehensive collection of oral histories brings to life generations of Palestinians, those living in the occupied territories as well as those in the far-flung exile of the Palestinian diaspora. The authors traveled throughout Israel and the occupied territories to find the multi-generational families living in towns, villages and refugee camps whose voices resonate in Homeland. These are the stories of loss, of exile, of remembering.
