Tasting the Sky: A Palestinian Childhood |
| Ibtisam Barakat |
| Melanie Krupa Books, 2007, hardcover, 176 pp. |
| In this spare, eloquent memoir, Barakat recalls life under Israeli military occupation. While political upheaval was always in the background, for young Barakat much of the drama was in incidents that took place in everyday life. What makes her memoir so compelling is the immediacy of a child’s viewpoint, which depicts both conflict and daily life without exploitation or sentimentality. An annotated bibliography provides a factual context. |
