A Conversation with Ghada Karmi: In
Search of Fatima, A Palestinian Story is a moving narrative
account that depicts the Palestinian struggle, mostly through
the eyes of a Palestinian woman. Author Dr. Ghada Karmi was
born in Jerusalem and left Palestine for Great Britain in
1949. Listen to an astonishing first-hand description of forced
exile at the hands of Israeli terrorists and the deep and
lasting scars resulting from loss of homeland and possessions,
and the struggle to adapt to an alien culture and climate.
In Search of Fatima rises above early tragedy to find a deliberate
and purposeful path beyond recovery towards a better life
for all. Dr. Karmi also discusses the idea of a secular
democratic state in historic Palestine as a solution to
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
