Description
Romeo and Juliet in Palestine Teaching Under Occupation by Tom Sperlinger explores the intersection of literature and occupation through the author's experience teaching English at Al-Quds University in the Occupied West Bank. Over five months, Sperlinger reflects on his students' encounters with works from 'Hamlet' and 'The Yellow Wallpaper', alongside anecdotes about life in the West Bank. As Sperlinger navigates the complexities of teaching under occupation, he grapples with the challenges of placing stories from the classroom alongside personal experiences. This account offers a unique perspective on pedagogy and the role of a university in such circumstances. By sharing his own evolving ideas about literature and teaching, Sperlinger invites readers to consider how encounters between students and texts might reveal insights into the nature of education under occupation.
