- catalog abstract ""Refugees in our Own Land is a gripping eye-witness account of what life is like in Palestine as a refugee in your own homeland. The first part comprises the diary Muna Hamzeh kept between October and December 2000. Through her own journal entries she tells the harrowing story of the second Intifada, as it happens. Facing the tanks and armed guards of one of the best-equipped armies of the world, the Palestinians have nothing. They fight back with stones. The anguish and terror that Muna and her friends face on daily basis is tangible. Who will be the next to die? Whose house will be the next to burn down? This immediately accessible and deeply moving personal account brings to life the harsh realities of the Palestinian struggle." "In the second part of the book Hamzeh provides the background to these current events. She describes what life has been like for Dheisheh's refugees since 1990, and explains why the second Intifada was a natural development of the Oslo peace accord. This is a rare insider's look into the hearts and minds of Palestinian refugees. It is a tribute to the bravery of the Palestinian people, and a wakeup call to the world that has ignored so much of their struggle and their suffering."--Jacket.".
