E-raamat: Occupation Diaries

Praise for Palestinian Walks:

'Few Palestinians have opened their minds and their hearts with such frankness * The New York Times * 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 every day * Sunday Telegraph * 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 * Independent on Sunday * Towards any proper understanding of history there are many small paths. I strongly suggest you walk with him -- John Berger 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 -- John Seaton, chair of the Orwell Prize committee, 2008 Shehadeh describes howthe destruction of a beloved landscape mirrors the damage to Palestinian identity ... lyrical nature-writing with understated political passion * Guardian * Readers would do well to reckon with the painful particulars of Shehadeh's account, which is at once gentle and angry, resolute and realistic * Nation * This is a beautiful book and a sad one -- Anthony Lewis Palestinian Walks provides a rare historical insight into the tragic changes taking place in Palestine -- Jimmy Carter
