Introduction	Here is what few prominent authorities think of my book of memoirs, “A Doctor in Galilee”: “Scarcely any personal narratives of the lives of Israel’s Arab minority exist. Kanaaneh’s fascinating exposure of this little known subject is written with passion and authority. Essential reading for students of the Israel/Palestine conflict.” Dr Ghada Karmi. “A beautifully readable and engrossing memoir of Hatim Kanaaneh’s years as a village doctor in the Galilee. His account of the rank racial discrimination, difficult social circumstances and pervasive poverty of most Palestinians in the Jewish state is leavened by Kanaaneh’s humor and his eye for striking detail. This is a truly touching book that is hard to put down.” Rashid Khalidi Edward Said Professor of Arab Studies at Columbia University. “A unique first hand account from the perspective of a Palestinian who defies the imposed partition of the land and the fragmentation of its people.” Ilan Pappe Professor of History, the University of Exeter. “A moving account of the plight of the Palestinians by one of them – a physician struggling to alleviate his people’s lot.” Desmond M.
