My Brother, My Land is the story of Sireen's family in the decades that followed and their lives in the Palestinian village of Kufr Ra'i. From Sireen's early life growing up in the shadow of the '67 War and her family's work as farmers caring for their land, to the involvement of her brother Iyad in armed resistance in the First and Second Intifada, Sami Hermez, with Sireen Sawalha, crafts a rich story of intertwining voices, mixing genres of oral history, memoir, and creative nonfiction. Through the lives of the Sawalha family, and the story of Iyad's involvement in the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hermez confronts readers with the politics and complexities of armed resistance and the ethical tensions and contradictions that arise, as well as with the dispossession and suffocation of people living under occupation and their ordinary lives in such times. Whether this story leaves readers discomforted, angry, or empowered, they will certainly emerge with a deeper understanding of the Palestinian predicament"--10aSawalha, Sireen,d1966-xFamily. 0aPalestinian ArabszWest BankvBiography. 0aArab-Israeli conflictvPersonal narratives, Palestinian. 0aArab-Israeli conflictxOccupied territoriesxHistory. 7aBiographies.2lcgft1 aSawalha, Sireen,d1966-eauthor.08iOnline version:aHermez, Sami Samir, 1977-tMy brother, my landdStanford, California : Redwood Press, 2024z9781503637061w(DLC)  2023029789  2lcccBOOKS  c608079d608079  00102lcc4070aAUbAUcGENd2025-12-02l0oCT1919.P375 S29 2024pAU00000000021066r2025-12-02 11:43:55v105.00w2025-12-02yBOOKS
