They Called Me A Lioness, by Dena Takruri | يسمونني أُسدة, دينا تكروري

Author and journalist Dena Takruri in conversation with Huwaida Arraf about her book They Called Me A Lioness, a memoir co-authored with Ahed Tamimi, who was jailed at sixteen for slapping an Israeli soldier who was invading her home.  It is a deeply moving personal reflection on the daily struggles of Palestinians living under Israel’s brutal military occupation.

“I cannot even begin to convey the clarity, the intensity, the power, the photographic storytelling of They Called Me a Lioness.”—Ibram X. Kendi, internationally bestselling author of How to Be an Antiracist
