A riveting and unapologetic account of Palestinian resistance, the story of one familys care for their land, and a reflection on love and heartache while living under military occupation. In 1967, Sireen Sawalhas mother, with her young children, walked back to Palestine against the traffic of exile. My Brother, My Land is the story of Sireens family in the decades that followed and their lives in the Palestinian village of Kufr Rai.

Through the lives of the Sawalha family, and the story of Iyads involvement in the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hermez confronts readers with the politics and complexities of armed resistance and the ethical tensions and contradictions that arise, as well as with the dispossession and suffocation of people living under occupation and their ordinary lives in such times. Whether this story leaves readers discomforted, angry, or empowered, they will certainly emerge with a deeper understanding of the Palestinian predicament. nA riveting and unapologetic account of Palestinian resistance, the story of one familys care for their land, and a reflection on love and heartache while living under military occupation.
