Incarcerated Childhood and the Politics of Unchilding

"This book documents the words and chronicles of Palestinian children. In working on this project, I consulted with the narratives of the elderly who survived the Nakba (the Palestinian catastrophe) and of their children who are still marked by violence in their lives and on their bodies. My analyses are framed by my observations as a Palestinian-Armenian social worker, criminologist, and sociolegal scholar. But they are also shaped by my own experiences as a child and descendent of survivors of the Palestinian Nakba and the Armenian Genocide, survivors who are still struggling to prevent further atrocities and realize a morally grounded acknowledgement of their pain and ability to survive"
