GAZA MAMA:
POLITICS AND PARENTING IN PALESTINE
Laila El-Haddad


Rs 375 Pb 2013
978-81-88965-82-3

El-Haddad takes us into the life and world of a busy Palestinian journalist who is both covering the story of Gaza and living it.

El-Haddad was not only covering Gaza's situation as a journalist and correspondent, she was also living it, including by trying to explain the ongoing events to her own young children. She recounts the angst of a person stranded outside her homeland when it came under intense Israeli assault at the turn of the year 2008-2009, though she was also able to publish and amplify the experiences of her parents as they cowered in central Gaza City under Israel's harsh, 22-day bombardment.
