Recenzii
[I]n addition to the book's empirical contributions, it makes methodological and theoretical contributions by adding to the corpus of knowledge on storytelling, narration, and contested histories ... Further, Biggs raises ethical questions regarding carrying out research in overstudied areas and explains how she adjusted her own approach to better listen to and empower the youth with whom she worked; thus, this book is of relevance to students of fieldwork methods more broadly, not only to those working in Israel/Palestine.
Victoria Biggs writes a compelling book that brings young people's stories into the foreground, troubling familiar narratives with a dynamic, rich and highly readable account of lives lived amidst violence, oppression and long-standing conflict. She argues that 'telling a story is an act of trust' and 'listening is an expression of responsibility'. I would urge all interested in the politics and narratives of Israel-Palestine to read this book and take that responsibility.
This book focuses on young people as storytellers in the violent and politicized Israeli-Palestinian context and gives us new insights into the worries, dreams and reasoning of Palestinian and Israeli youth. By giving voice to children and youth in Palestinian cities and refugee camps, in Israeli settlements as well as in bilingual educational settings, the author manage to transmit the complexities of identity formation, place-making, political stances and processes of othering.
