The violence and cruelty of the attacks, accompanied by the assent and silence of international governments, stunned many across the globe, like Teebi, into a new state of permanent horror.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhat does it mean to be of the Palestinian diaspora in such a moment? What does it mean to be of a people who have sustained such a large-scale assault not only on their homeland, but their entire identity? What is the role of art, of language—of imagination—in asserting one’s identity, when that very assertion is read as an act of subversion?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn this incisive work, Teebi explores, with searing, razor-sharp prose, the effects of genocide on the bodies, minds, and imaginations—of Palestinians especially, and humanity in general.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis is at once a memoir of one family’s displacement, a scathing indictment of global complicity in the face of brutality, and a profound rumination on art and imagination as a means of defiance. It is an astonishing work of resistance by a major intellect, and it is both urgent and timeless.","brand":"Saeed Teebi (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":47595350622430,"sku":"9781668084663","price":34.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0425\/4567\/6440\/files\/BNCImageAPI_01769ffb-8362-4287-8c28-56a1b2f8fc86.jpg?v=1760060901","url":"https:\/\/paragraphbooks.com\/fr\/products\/9781668084663","provider":"Librairie Paragraphe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
