Description
A memoir that combines political and economic commentary with personal and national history.
Mohammad Tarbush was born in British Mandate Palestine. As an infant, he and his family were forced to evacuate their village along with its entire population, following the Zionist victory that led to the establishment of the State of Israel. As landless refugees in the West Bank, the family sank into poverty.
When, as a teenager, Tarbush left home one day under the pretext of visiting relatives in Jordan, he in fact set off on a year-long hitchhiking journey to Europe. There, he would eventually become a highly successful international banker and a key behind-the-scenes promoter of the Palestinian cause.
In My Palestine, Mohammad Tarbush combines poignant personal memoir with incisive political and economic commentary on the tumultuous events that shaped the history of Israel, Palestine, and the modern Middle East.
