| Abstract: |
The article focuses on a children's book that addresses the erasure of Palestine from educational curricula. The story follows a character named Falasteen, who struggles to find Palestine on a world map and seeks answers from her family, each sharing unique narratives about Palestinian history and culture. The book emphasizes the idea that, despite the absence of Palestine on maps, its significance endures in the hearts of its people. An author’s note reinforces the theme that “existence is resistance,” highlighting the importance of recognizing and preserving cultural identity. [Extracted from the article] |
