    “Book Descriptions: For more than six decades, Israel and Palestine have been the focal point of an intractable conflict, one that has led to one of the world's most widely reported yet least understood human rights crises. In their own words, men and women from West Bank and Gaza describe how their lives have been shaped by the conflict. Here are stories that humanize the oft-ignored violations of human rights that occur daily in the occupied Palestinian territories.

    Narrators include:

    Ebtihaj, whose son, born during the first intifada, was killed by Israeli soldiers during a night raid almost 20 years later.

    Nader, a professional marathon runner from the Gaza Strip who is determined to pursue his dream of competing in international races in the face of countless challenges, including severe travel restrictions and few resources to help him train.

    Ibtisam, the director of a children’s center in the West Bank whose work is significantly constrained by mobility obstacles in the region.

    Kifah, who was jailed for years with no charges. She believes she was imprisoned for her work as a community leader and outreach to prisoners.”
