"Stranger at Home," edited by Rawda Kana'ane and Izis Nassir, and introduced by Leila Abu Lughod, is a book that provides a profound exploration of the reality of Palestinian women who live in Israel. This insightful book spans 368 pages is a compelling work authored by a new generation of Palestinian academic women and Israeli citizens who offer unique perspectives that are distinct from those who were displaced.
The book's primary innovation lies in its meticulous research on the lives and voices of Palestinian women, as well as its examination of gender-related issues within the Palestinian community in Israel. It provokes thought and raises questions about women's recollections of past political eras, their political allegiances, contemporary electoral practices, and their views on topics ranging from love, marriage, and housing to sexuality, bodily experiences, education, and professional aspirations.
