“In the post-Oslo era, reading Palestine through prisoners’ writings resembles reading an electrocardiography report. It does reflect the state of the “national body,” yet it requires a painful confrontation with our collective memory and amnesia. The writings of Walid Daqqa, a “masked philosopher” who is currently spending his 34th year in Zionist captivity, provide an ideal instance for such an exercise.”
