"In its vivid close-ups of the diverse and dynamic communities for whom Palestine was home, Naseej. offers both a heart-breaking account of what colonists have cost the world, and a hopeful template for the future. This is the book that is. Palestine. ". Ahdaf Soueif, novelist. "A remarkable book of creative personal essays, poems, and scholarly investigations that illuminate the wondrous tapestry that was Palestine before the Zionists imposed their vision of exclusionary ethnonationalism and racialized rule. This book reveals how a land could be called home by diverse people and communities of tangled origins, living side by side as neighbors and kin. As Palestinians. ". Lila Abu-Lughod, author of Do Muslim Women Need Saving. Naseej. , meaning "tapestry" in Arabic, is a book about the diversity and beauty of community, history, and continuity in Palestine. It compiles essays, short stories, poetry, interviews, and visual art to tell the story of how the vast web of Palestinian histories has been severed from its roots. Palestine has always been a precious patchwork of languages, ethnicities, cultures, religions, and practices, weaved into the fabric of an Arab and Islamic civilization that was a culmination of centuries of interchange and experimentation. Arriving at a moment of utter devastation, this collection celebrates life in Palestine. From the trajectories of Romani groups to religious communities like Druze and Ahmadiyya Muslims, to the political experience of Black Palestinians, Naseej. asks what kind of threads remain of this tapestry after some 150 years of colonialism. Arpan Roy. is an anthropologist researching in Palestine and the region. He is the author of Relative Strangers: Romani Kinship and Palestinian Difference. Noura Salahaldeen. is an anthropologist from Jerusalem. She researches the Palestinian African community in Palestine and Jordan. She is based in Jerusalem and Austria.
