One of the strengths of this book is its presentation of simple patterns of the many embroidery motifs. For anyone interested in using these motifs in modern counted cross-stitch embroidery, this book is a treasure.

- WASHINGTON REPORT

The tradition of embroidery is one of the great art forms of village life in Palestine. From mother to daughter, each generation added new inspirations to the traditional designs. Women would meet on market days, for family celebrations and of course at the pilgrims' meeting places and gain muse from each other.

Margarita Skinner of Switzerland in collaboration with Widad Kawar of Jordan provides us with a glimpse into the history of embroidery, starting with the invention of the needle some 20,000 years ago. Over 200 Palestinian motifs of the period 1850-1950 have been illustrated.

Lima Shawa celebrates Gazan traditions and cuisine in her new book - A Taste of Gaza.

"Before starting to write about food and traditions of Gaza, my home, I had a mixture of feelings: happiness, nostalgia, and laughter; yet also deep sadness. As I began, memories flooded back: events, family, neighbors, friends, and the wonderful smell of home."

The book opens with the celebrations, feasts and different seasons in Gaza. Lima Shawa shares Palestinian traditions and recipes full of fragrance, flavors and richness from her beloved Gaza.

Unlike previously published books on Palestinian Embroidery, ‘Palestinian Embroidery Motifs is the first book to document all the different motifs by origin and names used on the old dresses.

“Ever since I finished my last book on Palestinian Embroidery Motifs I am more than ever curious and wonder when those brilliant embroidered dresses first emerged. From where did the motifs come, where is their origin? What love and imagination must have been transformed into such extraordinary embroidered dresses.” - Margarita Skinner ~ ‘The Journey of Motifs’

Margarita Skinner lived in the Middle East for over twenty years and during that time volunteered in several Palestinian women's projects in Jordan, Gaza Strip, West Bank and for over five years she supervised embroidery production by over 300 ladies in a self-supporting programme in the Gaza Strip. Her 1998 book Between Despair and Hope: Windows on my Middle East Journey 1967-1992 gives some details of this endeavour. Margarita met Widad Kawar when they both worked in the refugee camps of Jordan after the 1967 war.

“Had you been born a boy, I would have paid for your education” reminiscences Boushnak in her introductory essay, recalling her father’s reluctance to let her pursue an education.
.. I Read I Write is a hardcover book with the title written in white in Arabic, and the title and author’s name in English indented underneath. The photobook unfolds with one photograph per page, and each image is paired with quotes from the women who took part in the project. The book has 6 chapters, listed in chronological order as they were shot and categorized by the country. Each set of images provides a different insight into the problem of accessing and pursuing education, as the context in the respective countries is quite different. However, there is a unifying theme that pervades all of the stories: it is the celebration of what education brings into the lives of the women. Whether it is the ability to write a single sentence or to pursue an advanced degree, Boushnak tells stories of hope, perseverance, and success.
