Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The story of Kamel Abu Jaber (1932-2020) is in some ways the story of the modern day Kingdom of Jordan. In this short and sweet collection of memories, Kamel recounts his tribal past, being a Christian Bedouin family, his childhood, seeking better opportunities in the United States, returning to his homeland to become head of many educational establishments and later a major political figure. Full of humour wit and wise andecdotes, Kamel takes you on his life' s unexpected journey with all its twists and turns. These stories were barely finished before his passing in 2020, and were published posthumously with a collection of photographs compiled by his wife Loretta Pacifico Abu Jaber.

The Palestinians

People of the Olive Tree

By: Kamel S. Abu Jaber

The Palestinians: People of the Olive Tree presents an eloquent and moving collection of vignettes depicting the human face of the Palestinian tragedy - an aspect too often ignored by those around the world who consider only the political dimensions of the "Palestine question." The Palestinians as a people are still frequently stereotyped by the international mass media as a nation of terrorists and radicals. The personal accounts collected in this remarkable book go some way to redressing the balance by revealing the human dimension of a suffering nation: the lives of a people in exile or in camps, preoccupied with struggle and survival in a hostile world. But this is by no means an entirely bleak account: the ordinary Palestinians featured in these vignettes (based on an extensive series of personal interviews by Professor Kamel S. Abu Jaber) describe their everyday existence both simply and poignantly and the eloquence of their tales reveals lives filled with hope, despair, tenderness, love and dreams of success, happiness and - above all else - peace.

The Jordanians

And the People of the Jordan

By: Kamel Abu Jaber

First published in 1980, The Jordanians presents historical and statistical data as well as an entertaining and witty narrative that treats the reader to a peek into the Middle Eastern cultural heritage, its diversity and humanity. It shows why even after drastically changing their lifestyles to keep up with the world around them, the Arabs still cling to their traditions of humanity, compassion and hospitality. This second edition, republished on the occasion of the 100th year of establishment of Jordan, includes a new foreword by economist and former Minister Dr. Yusuf Mansur, a new introduction, and never before seen restored pictures of Jordan during its early years as well as updated statistics.

Sheepland

A Portrait of the Life of Sheep

By: Kamel S Abu Jaber

Sheepland is a clever satirical allegory with echoes of Orwell's 1984 & Animal Farm, eerily depicting the current state of the world and warning of what may come. A witty satire on contemporary societal structures brings with it the unmistakable truth that Sheepland is everywhere, even in the so-called developed world - and that the sheep, who have been systematically fleeced of their security and their autonomy deserve so much more. Published 36 years later, the second edition includes his recent article, "Of Sheep and Shepherds in the Time of Trump".
