Having grown up in Britain after her family fled Palestine in 1948, Karmi returns to the West Bank with the earnest ambition of contributing to the creation of a Palestinian state. What follows is a challenging journey through a landscape both deeply familiar and painfully transformed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs she navigates the complexities of working within the Palestinian Authority, Karmi is confronted by the harsh realities of occupation, militarised borders, and the persistent division of her people. Her experiences—ranging from bureaucratic struggles and encounters with soldiers to intimate reflections on family history—force an honest interrogation of identity and belonging. Through her keen, intellectual gaze, Karmi grapples with the traumatic loss of her ancestral home and the difficult question of whether true return is possible in a fractured land. This beautifully written account offers a powerful perspective on the human cost of displacement, serving as a passionate meditation on memory, heritage, and the search for home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsed (good, see images)\u003cbr\u003eHardcover\u003cbr\u003eISBN 9781781688","brand":"Blue Pigeon Goods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46393273483414,"sku":"tingira15_M50CB8M88U56","price":34.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/5189\/4422\/files\/5692_39b822d1-4a15-46e9-a5e4-51ef62c1d5e6.jpg?v=1779432698","url":"https:\/\/bluepigeongoods.com\/products\/return-a-palestinian-memoir-palestine","provider":"Blue Pigeon Goods Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
