"Stranger in My Own Land" chronicles a desperate, at times surreal, search for a homeland between the Galilee, the West Bank and the disapora. The book is a tale of conflict, exodus, occupation, return, and search for belonging, narrated throughout Jiryis's personal experience with displacement. In the book, Jiryis asks difficult questions about what the right of return would mean for the millions of Palestinians waiting to come 'home'.
