VOICES:
PALESTINIAN WOMEN NARRATE DISPLACEMENT
Now accessible on
Internet: the voices of women in different
regions of
historic
and Israel/1948
Palestine - telling their stories of loss of
home, whether
through displacement, refugeedom, demolition and
threat of
demolition, deportation, imprisonment, and total
transformation of
environment. The stories of about 70 people,
mainly women with
a few men, are recorded here. They are not
known leaders but
'ordinary' Palestinians of varying ages and
social
backgrounds - urban, rural, Bedouin; citizens and
refugees.
This is a
multi-media project, a digital book in which you can
hear the
speakers' voices, see portraits of their faces and
surroundings, and
read texts that describe individual speakers
and give
historical background. The site will be expanded as new
information and
readings become available.
The voices and
texts were recorded and written by Rosemary
Sayigh,
anthropologist and oral historian, through a grant from
the Diana Tamari
Sabbagh Foundation. The digital book was created
by Børre
Ludvigsen, webmaster of Al-Mashriq, and Susanne Olsen,
layout artist and
computer programmer. .
Photographs were
offered to the project by Leena Saraste, Sallie
Schatz, Rania
Matar, Muhammad Omer, Darren Ell, John Torday,
Peter Fryer, and
many more.
The book is
available at: http://almashriq.hiof.no/voices/
