emotional informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

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 against another edition

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.

challenging emotional informative slow-paced

4.5

Definitely think this is one I’ll need a physical copy of to reread and take notes. The narrator was fantastic, but it was very dense and without the ability to easily flip back and forth, I know I missed a lot of information. Still, highly recommend and believe this is an informative and necessary history for all to read and learn about.
