5.0

This is a challenging read/listen. It has lived experience of the author and thier family in the book. It gives an balance and comprehensive examination and experience of the colonisation of Israel and Palestinian life. 

This is a must read for anyone who wants to know about the history of the Palestine.

challenging informative slow-paced

5.0

I am giving this 5.0 not necessarily because I enjoyed the read, because it was tough and slow going. But I am giving it 5.0 because I think it has given me confidence in knowing more about the historical context that makes our current global situation so temultuous. This is essential reading.

A bit dry, but very important information. I like how the author included his own experiences and family history in the narrative.

3.5

Great introduction to the history of Palestinian resistance with an emphasis on global engagement, policy, and media coverage. Mostly read like a history book, but the addition of direct experiences recounted by the author helped demonstrate the actual effects of policy and politics. I particularly appreciated the dialogue on the influence that US citizens have, it gives me hope that better days are coming for Palestinians with this new wave of American media attention
