Palestinian Walks – Notes On A Vanishing Landscape

Palestinian Walks – Notes on a Vanishing Landscape covers nearly 30 years of turmoil in the Middle East, but from a new and inspired point of view.When Raja Shehadeh first started hill-walking in Palestine in the 1970s he was not aware that he was travelling through a vanishing landscape. The hills would have seemed familiar to Christ – until the day concrete was poured over the flora and irreversible changes were brought about by those who claim a superior love of the land.These seven walks span a period of twenty-seven years, in the hills around Ramallah, in the Jerusalem wilderness and through the ravines by the Dead Sea. Each walk takes place at a different stage in Palestinian history.Today, many Palestinian natural treasures have become impossible to access. By preserving them, at least in words, Raja Shehadeh invites a new perspective on the future of an endangered land.*WINNER OF THE ORWELL PRIZE 2008*
