But it is much more than this. By combining their respective expertise in English literature and anthropology, Ibrahim Muhawi and Sharif Kanaana bring to these tales an integral method of study that unites a sensitivity to language with a deep appreciation for culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs native Palestinians, the authors are well-suited to their task. Over the course of several years they collected tales in the regions of the Galilee, Gaza, and the West Bank, determining which were the most widely known and appreciated and selecting the ones that best represented the Palestinian Arab folk narrative tradition. Great care has been taken with the translations to maintain the original flavor, humor, and cultural nuances of tales that are at once earthy and whimsical. The authors have also provided footnotes, an international typology, a comprehensive motif index, and a thorough analytic guide to parallel tales in the larger Arab tradition in folk narrative. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eSpeak, Bird, Speak Again\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is an essential guide to Palestinian culture and a must for those who want to deepen their understanding of a troubled, enduring people.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUniversity of Californian Press, 2021\u003cbr\u003eEnglish\u003cbr\u003eSoftcover, 464 pages\u003cbr\u003e250mm x 130mm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONNU ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47757091471543,"sku":null,"price":32.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/0849\/1447\/files\/palestine_d3116448-d74e-48cc-8b17-f82fb003933f.jpg?v=1776333689","url":"https:\/\/sonnu.net\/products\/speak-bird-speak-again-palestinian-arab-folktales","provider":"SONNU ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
