As he returns home for the first time since the Israeli occupation,  Barghouti crosses a wooden bridge over the Jordan River into Ramallah and is unable  to recognize the city of his youth. Sifting through memories of the old Palestine  as they come up against what he now encounters in this mere “idea of Palestine,”  he discovers what it means to be deprived not only of a homeland but of “the habitual  place and status of a person.” A tour de force of memory and reflection, lamentation  and resilience, \u003ci\u003eI Saw Ramallah \u003c\/i\u003eis a deeply humane book, essential to any balanced  understanding of today’s Middle East.","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"STANDARD","offer_id":62341576851843,"sku":"9781400032662","price":17.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9781400032662.jpg?v=1786150800","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/i-saw-ramallah-9781400032662","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
