Find me at the Jaffa Gate

An encyclopaedia of a Palestinian family

Micaela Sahhar,

About this book

A powerful exploration of Palestinian identity, memory, and resilience in the face of displacement.

What does the daughter of a Nakba survivor inherit? It is not property or tangible heirlooms, none of which can crisscross the globe with their refugee owners. It is not the streets and neighbourhoods of a father's childhood and the deep roots of family who have lived in one place, Jerusalem, for generation upon generation. Fixing her gaze on moments, places and objects – from the streets of Bethlehem to the Palestinian neighbourhoods of the New Jerusalem – Micaela Sahhar assembles a story of Palestinian diaspora, returning to the origins of violence in the Nakba.

Find me at the Jaffa Gate is a book about the gaps and blank spaces that cannot be easily recounted, but which insists on the vibrant reality of chance, fragments and memory to reclaim a place called home. For readers interested in Palestinian history, diaspora studies, and personal narratives that explore themes of identity, loss, and resilience.
