Summary / Abstract (Note) | My father is a Bedouin Arab who lived unquestioned on his historical tribal lands until 1948, after which the village was termed "unrecognized" and "illegal." My mother is an Arab Muslim from Nazareth. Even though she comes from one of the strongest Arab cities in northern Israel, she never identifies herself as such, choosing instead to be identified as hailing from her family's uprooted village that existed before 1948. My name is Safa Abu Rabia. I am a Bedouin, an Arab, a Muslim, a Palestinian and also an Israeli. I am all of these things together, but, at the same time, I am none of them. |
