|  | Strangers in the House by Anthony Lewis, Raja Shehadeh
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. AUTHOR: Anthony Lewis, Raja Shehadeh
