Jacob J Nammar’s new memoir is an account of growing up in Jerusalem before, during, and after the Nakba. It addresses the lives of the Palestinians who remained in the Israeli-occupied part of West Jerusalem after the Nakba, remarkably free of bitterness. His account describes what it is like to be marginalised in your own country, and to lose everything you have.
