| Summary: | Palestinian youth and the fight for their village Silwan is a Palestinian village located just outside the ancient walls of the Old City of Jerusalem. Determined to Stay: Voices of Silwan is a moving story of a village and its people. As Silwani youth and community members share their lives with us, their village becomes an easily accessible way to understand Palestinian history and current reality. Written with young people in mind, the richly illustrated text stresses connections between the lives of youth in the United States and Palestine, criminalization of youth, forced relocation, the impact of colonialism on Indigenous communities, efforts to bury history and inspiring examples of resistance and resilience. |
