Book Launch: IN YOUR EYES A SANDSTORM Ways of Being Palestinian
THE LONDON MIDDLE EAST INSTITUTE
Invite you to the book launch of
IN YOUR EYES A SANDSTORM Ways of Being a Palestinian
By Arthur Neslen
Introduced by Professor Gilbert Achcar
Who are the Palestinians? In this compelling book of interviews, Arthur
Neslen reaches beyond journalistic clichés to let a wide variety of
Palestinians answer the question for themselves. Beginning in the present
with Bisan and Abud, two traumatized children from Jenin’s refugee camp, the
book’s narrative arcs backwards through the generations to come full circle
with two elderly refugees from villages that the children were named after.
Along the way, Neslen recounts a history of land, resistance, dispossession,
exile and trauma.
