How do Palestinians live, imagine and reflect on home and exile in this period of a stateless and transitory Palestine, a deeply contested and crisis-ridden national project, and a sharp escalation in Israeli state violence and Palestinian oppression? How can exile and home be written?

In this volume of new writing, 15 innovative and outstanding Palestinian writers respond with their reflections, experiences, reflections and polemics.
