In this digital book you can hear the voices of around 70 Palestinian women, as well as a few men, currently living in Gaza, the West Bank, Jerusalem and Israel. They were recorded between 1998 and 2000 telling about their different experiences of displacement. You can see many of their faces as well as their surroundings. There are accompanying texts and bibliographies intended for interested lay-readers as well as students and scholars.
