| 520 | |a "From the renowned Palestinian scholar, a memoir of political and queer awakening, of impossible love amidst generations of displacement, and what it means to return home."--Publisher. | ||
| 520 | |a "Growing up in Amman, Jordan, a young Tareq often feels trapped: by cultures of silence, by a sense of not belonging, by his own growing awareness that he is in love with his childhood best friend, Ramzi. After relocating to London for college, Tareq hopes to put aside his past and begins to work through his understanding of self as a queer man. Yet as the Iraq War radicalizes young people around the world toward antiwar protest, history comes back to him: hushed whispers overheard, his grandmother's flight from Haifa, stories of his mother's years as an activist in Beirut and her return to Palestine during a moment of calm. Living between the region and London, Tareq fits in in neither place and feels alienated from both. Queerness is policed back in Amman, just as his Palestinian-ness is abroad. These gradual estrangements escalate, forcing him to grapple with what it means to live in liminal spaces and rethink the meaning of home. Eventually, retracing the journey of his family before him, Tareq returns to Palestine. Tareq Baconi crafts a deeply intimate, unforgettable portrait of how a political consciousness--desire and resistance-- is passed down through generations." |c Front book flap. | ||
