Noor is Arab by blood, raised in a multicultural adopted homeland. Like many Arabs today. She represents an Arab youth exposed to a global culture that is becoming increasingly Westernized, who gobbles up information about heroes that don’t (always) resemble them, and is inspired by the foreign that has become universal, unaware of the rich history and identity of the region they come from.

Item: In this book, we get to know Mahmoud Darwish, the Palestinian poet whose words became a voice for exile and hope. From his childhood to his rise as one of the most prominent poets in the Arab world, Darwish wrote about homeland, identity, and freedom, inspiring generations with his powerful and lasting poetry.
