Right of Return

"Right of Return" tells the poignant story of Hassan, a Palestinian boy who grows up hearing the stories of his grandfather’s lost homeland. Through vivid recollections, we see how Hassan’s early years in the West Bank are shaped by war, occupation, and political upheaval.

The book chronicles key moments in Palestinian history, such as the impact of the Balfour Declaration, the Nakba of 1948, the Six-Day War of 1967, and the Palestinian resistance movement. As Hassan grows older, his perspective evolves—from a child who simply dreams of a homeland to a young man
navigating the realities of war, displacement, and survival.

Despite the suffering, Right of Return is not just a story of loss. It is also a testament to the resilience of the Palestinian people and their hope for a future where they can live freely in their homeland. The
memoir explores themes of identity, exile, resistance, and reconciliation, offering a deeply human perspective on one of the most enduring struggles of our time.
