Description
Raja Shehadeh's Palestinian Walks is a poignant exploration of the changing landscape of Palestine over two decades of turmoil and transformation. Spanning 26 years, six walks take the reader through the hills around Ramallah, the Jerusalem wilderness, and the ravines by the Dead Sea, each at a different stage of Palestinian history since 1982.
Through his walks, Shehadeh captures the physical transformation of the landscape, alongside the shifting political atmosphere, and attempts to preserve the Palestinian natural treasures that many will never know. This new edition includes a previously unpublished epigraph in the form of a walk, adding depth to the narrative.
By recording his experiences, Shehadeh offers a unique perspective on the region's history and the impact of human activity on the environment. This book is a powerful exploration of the human relationship with the land and a testament to the enduring beauty of Palestine's natural landscape.
