Tracing Homelands is an intimate, beautifully written account that uncovers inconvenient truths about an embattled Israeli-Palestinian history that is often buried in silence. Its eloquently personal voice charts a reluctant eyewitness' journey to uncover the ruins of Palestinian villages destroyed in the 1948 war, while weaving flashbacks to the author's Israeli youth and Zionist upbringing. A braided narrative told with empathy and unflinching honesty, it reflects on the Palestinian and Jewish lives entwined in this searing history. As Dittmar revisits the sites and sights of her childhood, her intimate understanding of the 1948 war and its aftermath opens up an inquiry into the language and silence, the seeing and willed not-seeing, that have been obscuring the Nakba and holding peace hostage. Spanning six decades of this history (1942-2008), this story of war and dispossession rests on deep attachment to a land that is claimed by both people. Here the land itself speaks its own truths: a tale told in rocks and mud, pine forests and parched summer grass, and vibrant modernity amid derelict sentinels of its past"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Prologue : points of departure -- Mount Gilboa -- Forests -- Between wars -- Home front -- Brothers dwelling together -- Jerusalem -- Cactuses -- Maps to nowhere -- Zocrot -- Making do -- "In a land beloved of our fathers" -- The silver platter -- Deir Yassin -- South, to the Negev -- Bab el-Wad -- Soldier girl -- We, the Palmach -- Beach days -- "Yahrab Beitak" -- Gales of silence -- A taboon -- Bir'im -- Thresholds. 600 10 $a Dittmar, Linda, $d 1938- $x Travel $z Israel. 600 10 $a Dittmar, Linda, $d 1938- $x Travel $z Palestine. 650 0 $a Palestinian Nakba, 1947-1948. 650 0 $a Israel-Arab War, 1948-1949. 651 0 $a Israel $x Description and travel. 651 0 $a Palestine $x Description and travel. 650 6 $a Guerre israeÌlo-arabe, 1948-1949. 651 6 $a IsraeÌl $x Descriptions et voyages. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Personal Memoirs. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Historical. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Travel $2 fast 651 7 $a Israel $2 fast 651 7 $a Middle East $z Palestine $2 fast 648 7 $a 1947-1949 $2 fast 650 7 $a Israel-Arab War, 1948-1949. $2 sears 651 7 $a Israel $x Description. $2 sears 651 7 $a Palestine. $2 sears 655 7 $a Personal narratives $v Israeli $2 fast 655 7 $a Nonfiction novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans documentaires. $2 rvmgf 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240405024533.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A66E41AEF31211EEA2A0228A4CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
