Scattered like Seeds places a human face on the decades-long conflict between Jews and Palestinians.
In a Historical novel that tells the story of one Palestinian-American uprooted by the Arab-Israeli conflict, Shaw J. Dallal describes the tensions and cultural bonds that shaped the lives of Palestinians in exile.
As the son of a celebrated Arab resistance fighter against the British occupation of Palestine before World War II, Thafer Allam has strong Arab roots. His exile in the United States means that he belongs to two vastly different worlds, and returning to his homeland is difficult after years immersed in the culture of the West. His career in nuclear technology and law place him in a position in which he advises Arab governments on U. S.-related nuclear issues.
Allam moves easily from the living rooms of the Palestinian ghettos to the offices of Arab ministers. With the oil embargo against the West underway in 1973, Allam tries to reconcile the pull of his Palestinian heritage with his ties to America.
