Explore the power of storytelling among young people in Israel-Palestine with "Youth and Conflict in Israel-Palestine". This compelling book, authored by Victoria Biggs, delves into how forbidden histories are told and transmitted, offering profound insights into the everyday experiences of segregation and political violence. Discover how young individuals navigate borders, memory, and unseen spaces through narrative, confronting questions of belonging and the 'other'. The study uniquely includes children from diverse communities, including Palestinian refugee camps and right-wing Israeli settlements, revealing boundary spaces as fertile grounds for transmitting stories and memories. Victoria Biggs argues that storytelling provides a deeper understanding of youth experiences and perceptions than traditional data or interviews. Through detailed analysis of language, metaphor, violence, and narrative endings, the book demonstrates storytelling as a political act crucial in shaping conflict-affected youth's concepts of community, exclusion, and belonging.
