Mahmoud Darwish Palestine’s Poet and the Other as the Beloved

“Dalya Cohen-Mor’s Mahmoud Darwish: Palestine’s Poet and the Other as the Beloved is a fascinating book that explores the impossible love between the Palestinian national poet, Mahmoud Darwish and Tamar Ben-Ami, a Jewish girl within the obstacle-laden context of Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I do think that the book is a crucial contribution to the fields of sociology, anthropology, citizenship, nationality, acculturation and ethno-religious, cultural studies.” (Bilal Tawfiq Hamamra, Journal of Modern Jewish Studies, December 12, 2019)
