Our Own True Stories: the powerful autobiographical experiences of Israeli and Palestinian children growing up in a war-torn country.
This book is an anthology of autobiographical stories, diary entries, and personal essays about the childhood of Jews who have grown up in Israel since its establishment as a Jewish state in 1948, and Palestinians who call the same territory home. Their stories elucidate the day-to-day struggles of living in a war-torn country, and how it shapes their view of the world and of each other. This book marks the first time that Israelis and Palestinians have consented to have their stories told between the covers of one book.
