Drawing from her own experiences growing up in a Syrian refugee camp, as well as her current life in Gaza, these stories stitch together a patchwork of different perspectives into what it means to be a woman in Palestine today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether following the daily struggles of orphaned children fighting to survive in the rubble of recent bombardments, or mapping the complex, cultural tensions between different generations of refugees in wider Gazan society, these stories offer rare insights into one of the most talked about, but least understood cities in the Middle East. Taken together, the collection affords us a local perspective on a global story, and it does so thanks to a cast of (predominantly female) characters whose vantage point is rooted, firmly, in that most cherished of things, the home. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Comma Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39339317100579,"sku":"9781905583782","price":24.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2514\/8624\/products\/326c2fce9e6e0db80bfa983689cf498687f17273.jpg?v=1622452362","url":"https:\/\/wardahbooks.mom\/products\/theseacloak","provider":"Wardah Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
