challenging dark emotional informative tense medium-paced

5.0

This was an incredibly personal and yet measured and succinct book on Palestinian struggles since 1917. I learned so much about the creation of Israel, the failings of past Palestinian freedom movements, and the current state of affairs. 

Khalidi’s conclusion is powerful and offers ways to move towards peace.

emotional informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

I listened to this book through my library via Libby.

Brief Summary: A personal family story and a historical retrospective of the colonial establishment of Israel and its impact on Palestine.

Thoughts: This is a beautifully moving and important book to read. I learned a great deal about  Palestine's history. Khalidi's writing is informative and emotional. 

I would highly recommend it.

smilagros's review

dark informative sad tense fast-paced

I listened to this on audio and I highly recommend reading it that way. I am very angry and very frustrated about how little I knew about what Israel and the United States did and is still doing to the Palestinian people. The United States has let Israel do whatever the fuck they want, no wonder they will never call for a ceasefire now. I wish that the Western media would stop trying to change the narrative about Israel and actually tell us the fucking truth instead of sugar coating everything.
