We Are Palestinian: A Celebration of Culture and Tradition

Author: Reem KassisIllustrator: Noha Eilouti

Rich in insights, this impressively wide-ranging book provides background and context to the challenging and complex history of a strategically and historically important land. It offers an overview of the achievements of key people such as poet Mahmoud Darwish and singer Dalal Abu Amneh, alongside insights into the creativity and pioneering developments of the region.

The book provides context for the different religious influences in Palestine and the uneasy histories and timelines associated with these.

An impressive book, the strength of which lies in its ability to avoid being politicised or pushing any particular agenda.
