My second read by Raja Shehadeh. Going Home follows the author on a walk through Ramallah; over the course of a day, walking through various neighbourhoods of the city that he has spent his life in, Shehadeh explores the resistance and its history, his experience of growing up and aging, his relationship with his family, and the ways that Ramallah and Palestinian society more broadly has changed over the course of his life.  An emotional read; highly recommend.
