The memoir weaves together the material and the mystical, portraying the landscape as an active participant in the textual space. We contend that the memoir is a site of ecological and anti-colonial resistance, where the land's fauna and flora serve as a counter-narrative to the Israeli colonial project which seeks to transform and dominate the Palestinian landscape. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
