If the first casualty of war is truth, the last is often the peace of mind of those who are invaded – a generational trauma, in the case of Palestinians, that haunts them in a language that fantasy and speculative fiction can certainly speak to.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pricebox\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaperback \/ 242 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Bookish Type","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57471882559869,"sku":null,"price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0264\/0891\/0933\/files\/p-1.jpg?v=1764343889","url":"https:\/\/thebookishtype.pro\/products\/palestine-1-stories-from-the-eve-of-the-nakba-edited-by-basma-ghalayini","provider":"The Bookish Type","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
