I Saw Ramallah by Mourid Barghouti

4.0
This is a really poetic memoir of sorts, details Barghoti’s return to Palestine after 30 years of exile.
Politics is not the focus of this story, but through his musings and observations the reality of occupation and diaspora become clear. I am glad to have read much on Palestine before this so the context made even more sense to me, but it is not essential to do so to enjoy is and be moved by this work.
