Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Hardcover. This deeply felt memoir of race and history that defies social erasures of the diasporic Palestinian experience (The Whiting Award Judges Citation) explores Elena Dudums transformational journey and evolving relationship to Palestine.My father scours the web for century-old magazines about Palestine. For years, he would talk about these mysterious documents but rarely show them to anyone. I have proof, he would say to whoever would listen, that Palestine exists. In her Palestinian Christian home in San Francisco, Elena Dudum was raised in a household ruled by her fathers lectures. He taught her everything: the story of her grandparents flight from their homeland, the history of her familys orange groves, and the facts of the ongoing occupation of Palestine. Above all, he taught her not to forget. Soon his lessons consumed her childhood, and Elena found herself shrinking from an inheritance that felt both sacred and suffocating. For years, she resisted it all until a family trip to Palestine shattered the abstraction of her homeland. Checkpoints, razed olive groves, soldiersit was all plainly in front of her, as were the ghosts of her familys past. What was once always just out of reach, now pressed against her body. Back in the United States, something in her quietly unraveled. She tried to outrun what she now knew by burying herself in elite institutions and the rising world of tech, where ambition was rewarded and history was inconvenient. Eventually, the inheritance she thought she could escape demanded reckoning. Braiding rich personal narrative with archival fragments and cultural critique, They Told Me Back Home Would Be Beautiful traces one womans journey as she returnsslowly, deliberatelyto her fathers lessons, determined to claim them on her own terms. In the tradition of Safiya Sinclairs How to Say Babylon and Cathy Park Hongs Minor Feelings; This deeply felt memoir of race and history that defies social erasures of the diasporic Palestinian experience (The Whiting Award Judges Citation) explores Elena Dudums transformational journey and evolving relationship to Palestine.
