Summary

The wound of dispossession is the Palestinian story as told by Palestinians. Based on extensive interviews with more than 120 Palestinians throughout the United States, the book describes the Palestinians' experience of dispossession and exile, in their own words. Palestinians talk about what Zionism means to them, what living under Israeli occupation or as citizens in the state of Israel means to them, and what the peace process and reconciliation with Israel mean to them. They discuss living in America and reconciling their Palestinian and their American identities and loyalties. They make it clear that their story--and their struggle for a national homeland--constitute "a story with no end."
