The quest for his great-uncle Najib Nassar, an Ottoman journalist-the details of his life, and the route of his great escape from occupied Palestine-consumed award-winning writer Raja Shehadeh for 2 years. As he traces Najib's footsteps, he discovers that today it would be impossible to flee the cage that Palestine has become. A Rift in Time is a family memoir written in luminescent prose, but it is also a reflection on how Palestine-in particular the disputed Jordan Rift Valley-has been transformed. Most of Palestine's history and that of its people is buried deep in the ground: whole villages have disappeared, and names have been erased from the map. Yet by seeing the bigger picture of the landscape and the unending struggle for freedom as Shehadeh does, it is still possible to looktowards a better future, free from Israeli or Ottoman oppression"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Shehadeh, Raja, $d 1951- $x Travel $z Palestine. 600 10 $a Nassar, Najib, $d 1862-1948 $x Travel $z Palestine. 651 0 $a Palestine $x Description and travel. $9 81387 651 0 $a Palestine $x History $y 1799-1917. 600 30 $a Nassar family. 776 08 $i Online version: 776 08 $a Shehadeh, Raja, 1951- $t Rift in time. $d New York : Other Press, [2024] $z 9781635425222 $w (DLC) 2024002014 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240723010340.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F3FB324648B811EF92258A7C5CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
