An oral history of the Palestinian people. Rosemary Sayigh allows the countless ordinary Palestinians she interviewed to tell us their own history: life before Zionism; the war of 1948; and life in exile in the refugee camps of Lebanon and elsewhere.

The narrative focuses on the lives of Palestinian refugees in Shateela camp, highlighting their resilience amidst the chaos of war and violence in Lebanon. Through oral histories, it vividly captures their experiences of attacks, bombings, and massacres, illustrating their struggles for defense and survival. The book also explores the deep connections formed among the community members as they navigate successive crises, offering a poignant insight into their vulnerability and strength in the face of adversity.
