My People Shall Live: The Autobiography of a Revolutionary by Leila Khaled

5.0

leila khaled isn't a name that is new to me, i have come across her name and revolutionary work so many times and i can never stress how important her feats and dedication are, especially considering the many barriers she faced as a woman, an arab woman, and as an arab palestinian woman. the ferocity of her assertions and spirit is clear from the text and reflects what we see even today in so many palestinian journalists and individuals in general. she narrates the chronology of her life within the larger framework of all the important political developments within the arab world and imperial core, and is very useful if one would like a place to begin on when it comes to palestine and the place of women such as her in the liberation of palestine
