Ian Wellens is an artisan, musician and writer based in Devon. One day, he was asked by his teenage grandson to explain about Gaza - out of this was borne this beautifully-illustrated book which tells the story of Palestine and its people from 1880 to the present day. With fivefruit-themed sections which break up the history, it zooms in on places and people to provide emotional depth.
The book is partly a streamlined history homing in on the core issues of the Palestine/Israel problem, partly a poetic reflection on place and people, partly an impassioned cry for justice. By weaving these three things together in one text, Ian Wellens has created something genuinely new.
Endorsements:
"This is history written from the ground up—a project of tangible memory and cultural reclamation that is, in many ways, unparalleled. Highly recommended"
Ramzy Baroud
"Even if your library is full of books on Palestine, it would be amiss to be without this extraordinary and original book"
Ilan Pappe
"Ian Wellens has produced a gem of a book on Palestine's history. It presents in marvellously analytical, summary form all the salient points of the Palestine-Israel conflict"
