The Last Earth

An evocative history of Palestine, told through the stories of the people who have survived the conflict.

Description

Spanning decades and encompassing war, mass exodus, epic migrations, and the search for individual and collective identity, The Last Earth tells the story of modern Palestine through the memories of those who have lived it.

Ordinary Palestinians have rarely narrated their own history. In this groundbreaking book, acclaimed author Ramzy Baroud draws on dozens of interviews to produce vivid, intimate, and beautifully written accounts of Palestinian lives—in villages, refugee camps, prisons, and cities, in the lands of their ancestors and in exile. Baroud's empathetic and lyrical approach reveals new human dimensions of the Palestinian saga, telling it as it has never before been told.

Against dominant narratives, The Last Earth reclaims Palestine's past—and present—for all its people.
