Palestinian Walks (eBook)

Readers... would do well to reckon with the painful particulars of Shehadeh's account, which is at once gentle and angry, resolute and realistic.

Shehadeh writes beautifully, his language infused with a lyrical, melancholic sense of loss. An important record of a land marked by conflict that is changing everyday

Palestinian Walks is a stoic account of a particular place, but one which has universal resonance. The judges felt it made landscape into the essence of politics, and political writing into an art

This is a beautiful book and a sad one.

Palestinian Walks provides a rare historical insight into the tragic changes taking place in Palestine.

Towards any proper understanding of history there are many small paths. I strongly suggest you walk with him.

Shehadeh does a tremendous job ... one of the most compelling things you will read this summer.

Few Palestinians have opened their minds and hearts with such frankness

An important testament to political failure, never more relevant than today.

Shehadeh describes howthe destruction of a beloved landscape mirrors the damage to Palestinian identity...lyrical nature-writing with understated political passion

A new geography has come into being. This beautiful book is not just a guide to the Palestinian present; it is an Israeli album of what is taking place in a faraway land: Palestine.

Shehadeh is always engaging ... delivering what many activists neglect to mention: the odd, slightly absurd details that really touch people; things that appear off camera, away from news reports.
