WE COULD HAVE BEEN FRIENDS MY FATHER AND I - RA...

'Profoundly personal as well as historically significant ... In his moral clarity and baring of
the heart  Shehadeh recalls writers such as Ghassan Kanafani and Primo Levi' Hisham Matar  New
York Times Aziz Shehadeh was many things: lawyer  activist  and political detainee  he was also
the father of bestselling author and activist Raja. In this new and searingly personal memoir 
Raja Shehadeh unpicks the snags and complexities of their relationship. A vocal and fearless
opponent  Aziz resists under the British mandatory period  then under Jordan  and  finally 
under Israel. As a young man  Raja fails to recognise his father's courage and  in turn  his
father does not appreciate Raja's own efforts in campaigning for Palestinian human rights. When
Aziz is murdered in 1985  it changes Raja irrevocably. This is not only the story of the battle
against the various oppressors of the Palestinians  but a moving portrait of a particular
father and son relationship.
