Synopsis
In this memoir, a Palestinian lawyer writes as a witness and participant to history, offering a Palestinian perspective on decades of Arab-Israeli relations. Shehadah writes of his relationship with his lawyer-activist father, his schooling in England and India, and his own work for the Palestinian cause. He has worked within the legal system, but also associated himself with the Intifada; he formed an important human rights organization; and has participated in peace conferences. Here, he records and reflects on the changes he has seen in the land and in the people.

Industry reviews
"A memoir both political and personal, offering a human and humane perspective on one Palestinian's life."
Kirkus Reviews  (11/01/2001)

"[A]n invaluable resource--a moving and heartfelt document that captures the rage and despair of lives stunted by occupation."
Washington Post - David Tuller (01/16/2002)

"Compelling....Shehadeh has much to offer. Providing a vivid description of life under occupation....and charting the surges of politically tinged tensions in his own household, he powerfully humanizes the Palestinian struggle."
Village Voice  (02/19/2002)

'[An] unusually honest, beautifully written but uneven memoir...But for those willing to overlook such shortcomings and interested in the texture of the early years of occupation, STRANGERS IN THE HOUSE will prove rewarding. Few Palestinians have opened their minds and hearts with such frankness as Raja Shehadeh."
New York Times Book Review - Ethan Bronner (12/30/2001)
