A Palestinian Childhood with Ibtisam Barakat
In conversation with Peter Waldman, former Wall Street Journal Middle East correspondentDecember 2, 2008 Author Ibtisam Barakat shares her firsthand account of her youth as a Palestinian refugee. Transcending politics, her memoir underscores the universal fear, longing, bewilderment and hope that accompany cultural displacement. Today Barakat works to facilitate conflict resolution and peace-focused dialogue between Palestinians and Israelis.“This book, appropriate for readers young and old, holds literature’s great power: the power to humanize the ‘other,’ and to therefore change the way we understand our world.”
- Sandy Tolan, author of The Lemon Tree: An Arab, A Jew, and the Heart of the Middle East
