Description

‘As impressive a man as the Arab world has to show.‘ – Edward Said on Mohammad Tarbush

‘A personal as well as political history of Palestine, poignantly written and closely argued.’ – Arundhati Roy

‘A story of Palestine, but also the story of a singular, remarkable Palestinian.’ – Kamila Shamsie

‘This is a tale of resilience and perseverance of an extraordinary man beautifully rendered and replete with joy and hope.’ – Raja Shehadeh

Mohammad Tarbush was born in British Mandate Palestine. As an infant, he and his family were forced to evacuate their village together with its entire population after the Zionist victory that led to the establishment 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, where he would eventually become a highly successful banker and a key-behind-the-scenes promoter of the Palestinian cause.

My Palestine is a poignant personal memoir and an incisive political and economic commentary on the tumultuous events that shaped the history of Israel, Palestine and the Modern Middle East.
