About the book, I and Jerusalem
This book deals with the stages of Hala Sakakini's life in Jerusalem, from childhood in 1924 until the Nakba of 1948. Hala shares, through a careful transition between the private and the public, several social, cultural and political stations and events that she lived during this period with her family, demonstrating the remarkable presence of her father's personality, Khalil Sakakini, And what has had a clear impact on its self-building and knowledge. The narration moves us from one memorial to another amid small and subtle details of the places and the atmosphere of life in the city, the names of their families, theaters, schools, cafes, and rituals in celebrations of various seasons in the thirties and forties of the last century, as if the book is an invitation to the reader to walk with an aura in the streets of Jerusalem and evoke it Subconsciously smoothly. This Arabic version includes a supplement to Hala Diaries in Jerusalem during wartime (1940-1942).
