Historical Context: A Legacy of Displacement

Miller traces the historical roots of the Palestinian predicament, shedding light on the events that led to their displacement and the establishment of the Palestinian refugee crisis. She examines the impact of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and the subsequent establishment of the State of Israel, events that uprooted hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their ancestral homes. This forced displacement, known as the Nakba (Arabic for "catastrophe"),left a deep legacy of trauma and dispossession.

The Plight of Palestinians in Major Muslim Nations

Miller's book focuses on the experiences of Palestinians living in major Muslim nations, specifically Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt. She explores the challenges they face as refugees, exiles, and stateless people, highlighting the difficulties they encounter in accessing basic services, education, and employment. The book delves into the social, economic, and political barriers that limit their opportunities and contribute to their marginalization.

Jordan: A Country of Refuge and Challenges

Jordan has been a primary destination for Palestinian refugees since 1948, hosting the largest Palestinian population outside of the occupied territories. While Jordan initially welcomed the refugees, Miller examines the evolving relationships between Jordanians and Palestinians, as well as the political and economic tensions that have emerged over time. She discusses the challenges faced by Palestinian refugees in Jordan, including limited access to citizenship, education, and employment, as well as the discrimination and prejudice they sometimes encounter.

Syria: A Sanctuary Transformed into a Battlefield

Syria has also played a significant role in the Palestinian refugee crisis. Once a safe haven for Palestinians, the country has become a battleground in recent years, forcing many Palestinians to flee yet again. Miller examines the impact of the Syrian civil war on Palestinian refugees, exploring the dangers they face and the challenges they encounter in accessing humanitarian assistance and rebuilding their lives.

Lebanon: A Fragile Host Amidst Conflict

Lebanon has been a host to Palestinian refugees for decades, providing them with temporary shelter and assistance. However, the country's own political instability and economic challenges have made it difficult for Palestinians to fully integrate into Lebanese society. Miller investigates the precarious situation of Palestinians in Lebanon, highlighting their vulnerability to exploitation, abuse, and political violence.

Egypt: A Complex Relationship with the Palestinian Cause

Egypt has long been a supporter of the Palestinian cause, but its relationship with Palestinian refugees has also been marked by complexities. Miller examines the historical and political factors that have shaped Egypt's approach to the Palestinian issue, as well as the challenges faced by Palestinian refugees in the country. She explores the limitations on their rights and opportunities, as well as the ongoing tensions between the Egyptian government and Palestinian factions.

: A Call for Justice and Empathy
