Introduction of works
This is a highly autobiographical account of the real life of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon.
Since 1948, war and occupation have forced countless Palestinians from their homes and lands to struggle in foreign lands. However, despite suffering in life and national bullying, Palestinians do not dwell and complain, but with the yearning for a better world, actively fight and live happily.
This book is a collection of autobiographical essays written by 11 Palestinian refugees living in Lebanon, who use their real experiences to express their thoughts on life, ethnicity and the decades-long conflict between Palestine and Israel. They use their personal brushstrokes to show the spirit of ordinary Palestinians in the context of the conflict between Palestine and Israel, and make their own voice. Among the 11 articles, there are the sentiment of life, the memories of childhood, the narration of history from another Angle, and the happy past with family members. The text is beautiful and moving, brimming with optimism. It is a unique masterpiece that accuses war, praises peace and the brilliance of humanity, and is also a documentary material that truly records history.
Mohamed Ali Khalid, Chair Professor of Philosophy at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, writes frequently on Palestinian issues and campaigns for the rights of Palestinian refugees. His books include The Embodiment of Identity: The Reality of Life for Palestinian Refugees in Lebanon and Medieval Islamic Philosophy (translated from Arabic into English).
