In this powerful illustrated memoir, Hillel Cohen — one of the leading scholars on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, a journalist, and a political activist — sets aside academic detachment and writes a gripping personal-political narrative. In this rare coming-of-age story, which crosses genres, Cohen moves across times and places, tracing a life path that offers a sharp and unflinching reflection on identity, nationality, guilt, memory, and ethics. The memoir features expressive illustrations by Yana Bukler that offer an empathetic entry point into the world of someone who has lived the conflict not only as a scholar but as an engaged observer across the span of a lifetime.
