Un gran cuaderno de reflexiones en el que la autora funde lecturas y recuerdos sobre la tierra que sus ancestros se vieron obligados a abandonar en busca de una nueva vida.
«Una escritora deliberada e inmensamente dotada que entiende cómo el trauma político se conserva para siempre en el cuerpo». —Azareen Van der Vliet Oloomi, The New York Times
Palestina en pedazos amplía y profundiza la reflexión que Lina Meruane inició en 2012, tras un viaje a Beit Jala que constituiría un paradójico volver a casa en nombre de quienes nunca pudieron regresar.
Desde esa posición acaso desautorizada pero políticamente comprometida, Meruane escribió la crónica que abre este volumen —«Volverse Palestina»— y continuó escribiendo porque, como diría después, «por más que una ponga un punto final, la terrible realidad de la ocupación ha continuado».
A esas páginas se sumó una segunda parte —«Volvernos otros»—, una aguda y audaz meditación en torno al lenguaje del conflicto, y una tercera, hasta ahora inédita —«Rostros en mi rostro»—, en la que se repiensa la identidad individual y colectiva impresa en las caras y en las lenguas así como los contrasentidos culturales que los cuerpos portan.
Los tres textos aquí reunidos examinan pertenencias esencialistas, excluyentes, proscritas e inestables a través de una escritura que funde el aire melancólico de la memoria, la agilidad de la crónica viajera, la ironía crítica y el toque reflexivo a la vez que atrevido del ensayo.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A grand book of reflections where the author blends her reads with memories of the land her ancestors were forced to leave in search of a new life.
“A deliberate and immensely gifted writer that understands how political trauma is preserved forever in the body.”—Azareen Van der Vliet Oloomi, The New York Times
Palestine in Pieces broadens and deepens the reflection that Lina Meruane began in 2012 after a journey to Beit Jala, which would constitute a paradoxical return home in the name of those who could never go back.
From such a position, perhaps lacking in authority but politically committed, Meruane wrote the opening chronicle for this volume—“Becoming Palestine”—and continued writing because, as she would later say, “no matter how much you want to write that last line, the grim reality of occupation continues.”
There was a second part added to those pages—“Becoming Others”—an acute and audacious contemplation on the language of conflict. And a third, never before published—“Faces on My Face”—where Meruane rethinks both individual and collective identities pressed upon visages and languages, as well as the cultural contradictions that bodies carry.
The three texts gathered here examine essentialist, exclusive, proscribed, and unstable belongings through a narrative that unites memory’s melancholic air with the flexibility of travel writing, critical irony, and the pensive yet daring touch of essays.
