In this eloquent account Barghouti, who was in Cairo at the University during the Six-Day-War, writes of going home to his village on the West Bank after 30 years, a place utterly changed and still at the center of the devastating conflict between Israel and Palestine. An intellectual and poet, Barghouti captures notions of homecoming, rootlessness, and journeys with irony and candor. Fundamentally, the book is a powerful account of what it's like to be Palestinian. Published to much acclaim in Arabic in 1997, it won the Naguib Mahfouz Medal for Literature.
