Description

Salman Abu Sitta's memoir offers a deeply personal account of his life and its connection to the events that shaped Palestine in the 1930s and 1940s. Born just before the Nakba, the mass expulsion of Palestinians in 1948, Abu Sitta recounts his family's forced flight from their home near Beersheba and the enduring impact this had on his life. This memoir chronicles Abu Sitta's journey through exile, migration, and displacement, tracing his path as he navigated various countries including Egypt, London, Canada, and Kuwait. Along the way, he recounts key historical events such as the 1956 Suez War and the 1991 Gulf War, weaving these into a narrative that is both deeply personal and historically significant. Through his story, Abu Sitta conveys a burning sense of justice and a determination to recover and document what rightfully belongs to his people. His memoir provides a unique perspective on the era, imbued with warmth, wit, and a strong sense of identity.
