Three mothers and three daughters - stories of Palestinian women

A glimpse into daily Palestinian life under the Israeli occupation as narrated by Palestinian women from successive generations and different regions of Palestine. It is the result of a collaboration between a Muslim woman – Rafiqa Othman – and a Jewish psychotherapist – Michael Gorken – who tried to take the term "daily life" beyond its theoretical framework so that these women's experiences would not be suffocated under the weight of theorization and scientific research. In this book, you will find stories in which the researcher successfully combined their theoretical and academic discourse with the most rebellious and often chaotic personal testimony, as we see the women's joys from within their lives at home, and even accompany them in their darkest times, feeling the hardship of their displacement from their homes before they are destroyed or seized by occupation forces. The women who were interviewed offer us a window into many events that marked thresholds in their lives, where attention to the details of daily life reflects the deep belief of the authors that cultural politics start at the local level and may end at the local level, rather than being directed at the global level.
