In Your Eyes a Sandstorm

Discover the rich tapestry of Palestinian identity in In Your Eyes a Sandstorm by Arthur Neslen, published by the University of California Press in 2011. This compelling hardback spans 328 pages and invites readers to explore the question, "Who are the Palestinians?" through the voices of those who live it.

Beginning with the poignant stories of Bisan and Abud, two traumatized children from Jenin's refugee camp, Neslen skillfully weaves their experiences with the histories of their ancestors. The narrative arcs back through generations, culminating in the reflections of two elderly refugees from the very villages that inspired the children's names.

This book not only sheds light on the personal narratives of Palestinians but also provides a deeper understanding of their struggles and resilience. A must-read for anyone interested in the complexities of identity and history in the context of the Palestinian experience.
