The Reverend Canon Naim Ateek, a Palestinian and an Episcopal priest,
writes of the Palestinians' dispossession of their land during his
lifetime leading Canon Ateek to embrace a groundbreaking theology of
liberation for his people. Told in his own words, Canon Ateek weaves
his personal story within the context of ever-increasing injustices
endured by the Palestinian people under Israeli rule and occupation.
His story is a gift to all those who wish to understand what justice
requires in the seventy-five years since the Nakba (catastrophe) that
befell the Palestinian people in 1948 in the creation of the State of
Israel, and the enduring occupation that has been imposed on them
since 1967.
