Full title: RCPI Spring 2024 Book Series: Stranger in My Own Land: Palestine, Israel and One Family's Story of Home
This book talk featured “Stranger in My Own Land: Palestine, Israel and One Family's Story of Home,” a memoir by Palestinian writer Fida Jiryis.
“Stranger in My Own Land” chronicles a desperate, at times surreal, search for a homeland between the Galilee, the West Bank and the diaspora. The book is a tale of conflict, exodus, occupation, return, and search for belonging, narrated through Jiryis’s personal experience with displacement. In the book, Jiryis asks difficult questions about what the right of return would mean for the millions of Palestinians waiting to come ‘home’.
Featuring Fida Jiryis, Palestinian writer and editor
Moderated by Sara Roy, Associate of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies
Co-sponsored by the Middle East Forum at the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Harvard
This event took on April 8, 2024.
