A Bethlehem Mother's Diary
Alison Jones Nasaar with Fred Strickert
|
During the Al Aqsa Intifada Alison sent emails almost daily to her family and friends. This is an edited collection of those emails. She describes the daily existence of Palestinian civilians—a life of curfews, checkpoints, and closures. Having three perspectives on life in the Middle East, she describes her evolving emotions as the family lives in humiliation and fear.
This is the voice of a wife and mother, an American expatriate living with her Palestinian husband and their young children in occupied Bethlehem during the incursions of the Israeli army following the uprising known as the Al Aqsa Intifada. She worries about her family, is it safe for the girls to go to school, will her husband come home at night? Her email journal reveals her attempt to find reason for hope that one day normalcy will come to the land called Holy. Alison Jones Nassar is an American citizen who went to Israel to work with an Hebrew University archeology team. She met and married a Christian Palestinian. They have two daughters. The family was living in Bethlehem during the Al Aqsa Intifada.
