Aprašymas

Often, it is the smallest details of daily life that tell us the most. And so it is under occupation in Palestine. Here, everything must be carefully thought about and planner for: Are we picnicking too close to an Israeli settlement? Will my post arrive? How long will it take to get through the checkpoints today?

Occupation Diaries is award-winning author Raja Shehadeh's diary of the two eventful years before the Palestinian bid for UN statehood in September 2011. A fierce and lyrical portrait of a life lived under siege, it addresses the big questions - When does co-operation become collaboration? Are any of life's pleasures untouched by politics? - and records daily frustrations, ignominies and isolation, as well as loyalty, pride and moments of profound hope in adversity.
