Young Palestinians Speak

An updated edition of this 2017 acclaimed book which gives a platform to Palestinian children who share their dreams and fears for themselves and their country. In Palestine today, a fourth generation of children and young people are growing up experiencing life under occupation. These are children who know only fear when they see an Israeli soldier or come across a roadblock. This book provides a platform for children and young people, from all over this occupied land, to speak in their own voices about the day-to-day experience of living under occupation. It begins with an explanation of what the occupation means for those living under it, and is followed by the heart of the book: nine sections, each one focusing on one of the places visited by the authors. At the end, there is a timeline showing the main events that led up to the occupation.
