A stranger in my own land

Fida Jiryis’ parents left their home, in what was once Palestine, in 1970 in voluntary exile. In 1994, after the first Oslo Accord, Fida and her family returned – to a very different country. Fida’s book ‘Stranger in My Own Land’ tells the story of her family from 1948, when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians fled the country, which had just been declared the State of Israel.
