A Child of the Intifada

Résumé du livre

Murder, conspiracy, torture and revenge.Gaza is not a safe place to be!Sensitive and kind, the young Zabout Nacer is plunged into a nightmare as the Intifada, or 'Uprising', becomes an excuse for chaos and settling old scores. Soon his nephew is unjustly murdered by Hamas activists and Nacer finds himself next on the hit list.What follows is over two years of exile and flight from death to a darker danger, graphically charted by the author, who takes us from Israel to Moscow, Dagestan and war-torn Chechnya.This fascinating and chilling record shows us just what life is like for the citizens of a state-within-a-state. For parallels we need look no further than Northern Ireland. The author's 'dark night of the soul', his despair of finding a safe home, and his persistence in the face of terrible obstacles, make A Child of the Intifada a compelling and important document on both a human and a political level.
