Palestinian youth fight for their village

Summary

Silwan is a Palestinian village located just outside the ancient walls of the Old City of Jerusalem. This book is the moving story of the village and its people. As Silwani youth and community members share their lives with us, their village becomes an easily accessible way to understand Palestinian history and current reality. Written with young people in mind, the richly illustrated text stresses connections between the lives of youth in the US and Palestine: criminalization of youth, forced relocation, the impact of colonialism on Indigenous communities, efforts to bury history, and inspiring examples of resistance and resilience
