Reviews"Said writes to the photos so assiduously and with such effect as to make one powerful essay." -- New York Times Book Review, When Said shows us the Palestinian experience min al-dakhil, from the inside, he means not the inside of the place, but the inside of the mind. Palestine becomes a state of mind. And that is what makes the book so exceptional. It is an extended voyage through the mind of exile., The power and magic of [Said and Mohr's] collective statement lies in this----no matter how displaced or dispossessed, a decisive border separates the native and the tourist., "The power and magic of [Said and Mohr's] collective statement lies in this----no matter how displaced or dispossessed, a decisive border separates the native and the tourist." -- Jerusalem Post, The power and magic of [Said and Mohr's] collective statement lies in this--no matter how displaced or dispossessed, a decisive border separates the native and the tourist., A very personal text, and a very moving one, about an internal struggle: the anguish of living with displacement, with exile.... The most beautiful piece of prose... about what it means to be a Palestinian., "When Said shows us the Palestinian experience min al-dakhil, from the inside, he means not the inside of the place, but the inside of the mind.
