In 2000 Mourid Barghouti published I Saw Ramallah, the acclaimed memoir\nthat told of returning in 1996 to his Palestinian home for the first time since\nexile following the Six-Day War in 1967.\nI Was\nBorn There, I Was Born Here takes up the story in\n1998 when Barghouti returned to the Occupied Territories to introduce his\nCairo-born son, Tamim, to his Palestinian family. Ironically, a few years later\nTamim had himself been arrested for taking part in a demonstration against the\nimpending Iraq War. He was held in the very same Cairo prison from which his\nfather had been expelled from Egypt to begin a second exile in Budapest when\nTamim was only a few months old. \nRanging freely back and forth in time\nbetween the 1990s and the present day, Barghouti weaves into his account of\nexile poignant evocations of Palestinian history and daily life - the pleasure\nof coffee arriving at just the right moment, the challenge of a car journey\nthrough the Occupied Territories, the meaning of home and the importance of\nbeing able to say, standing in a small village in Palestine, 'I was born here',\nrather than saying from exile, 'I was born there'. \nFull of life and humour in the face of a\nculture of death, I Was Born There, I Was\nBorn Here is destined, like its predecessor, to become a classic.
