Occupation Diaries

Informationen zum Autor Raja Shehadeh Klappentext It is often the smallest details of daily life that tell us the most. And so it is under occupation in Palestine. What most of us take for granted has to be carefully thought about and planned for: When will the post be allowed to get through? Will there be enough water for the bath tonight? How shall I get rid of the rubbish collecting outside? How much time should I allow for the journey to visit my cousin, going through checkpoints? And big questions too: Is working with left-wing Israelis collaborating or not? What affect will the Arab Spring have on the future of Palestine? What can anyone do to bring about change? Are any of life's pleasures untouched by politics?Life in Palestine today - what it is really like - day to day, now shortlisted for the Orwell Prize 2013 Zusammenfassung Life in Palestine today - what it is really like - day to day, from the Orwell Prize winning author, Raja Shehadeh.
