Looking for Palestine: Growing Up Confused in an Arab-American Family Najla Said, the daughter of renowned Palestinian scholar Edward Said and sophisticated Lebanese mother, grew up in New York City with a unique cultural identity crisis. As a second-generation Arab American, she struggled to reconcile her family's deep connection to their homelands with the conformist society around her. In this memoir, Said recounts her journey towards self-discovery and acceptance, navigating the complexities of her heritage while growing up in a predominantly WASP community. Baptized Episcopalian in Boston and attending an elite Upper East Side girls' school, Said's early life was marked by denial of her true roots. She embraced Jewish traditions as a teenager, further complicating her sense of identity. The psychological toll of this self-hatred took a significant toll on her well-being until the attacks on the World Trade Center on 9/11 and subsequent events forced her to confront her heritage head-on. As Said visited Palestine and Beirut more frequently, her perspective shifted, and she began to see herself and her passions more clearly.
Looking for Palestine: Growing Up Confused in a Arab-American Family Наджла Саид, дочь известного палестинского ученого Эдварда Саида и утонченная ливанская мать, выросла в Нью-Йорке с уникальным кризисом культурной идентичности. Будучи американкой арабского происхождения во втором поколении, она изо всех сил пыталась примирить глубокую связь своей семьи с родными землями с окружающим ее конформистским обществом. В этих мемуарах Саид рассказывает о своём пути к самопознанию и принятию, ориентируясь на сложности своего наследия, пока росла в преимущественно WASP-сообществе. Крещённая епископалом в Бостоне и посещавшая элитную женскую школу Верхнего Ист-Сайда, ранняя жизнь Саид была отмечена отрицанием её истинных корней. В подростковом возрасте она приняла еврейские традиции, что ещё больше усложнило её чувство идентичности. Психологический ущерб от этой ненависти к себе значительно сказался на ее благополучии, пока нападения на Всемирный торговый центр на 9/11 и последующие события не заставили ее противостоять своему наследию в лоб. Поскольку Саид чаще посещала Палестину и Бейрут, ее перспектива сместилась, и она стала яснее видеть себя и свои страсти.

Auf der Suche nach Palästina: In einer arabisch-amerikanischen Familie aufgewachsen Najla Said, Tochter des berühmten palästinensischen Gelehrten Edward Said und raffinierte libanesische Mutter, wuchs in New York mit einer einzigartigen kulturellen Identitätskrise auf. Als arabischstämmige Amerikanerin der zweiten Generation tat sie sich schwer, die tiefe Verbundenheit ihrer Familie mit ihren Heimatländern mit der konformistischen Gesellschaft um sie herum in Einklang zu bringen. In diesen Memoiren erzählt Said von seinem Weg zur Selbsterkenntnis und Akzeptanz, wobei er sich auf die Komplexität seines Erbes konzentriert, während er in der überwiegend WASP-Community aufwuchs. Getauft als Episkopal in Boston und besuchte die Elite-Frauenschule der Upper East de, war Saids frühes ben von der ugnung ihrer wahren Wurzeln geprägt. Als Teenager nahm sie jüdische Traditionen an, was ihr Identitätsgefühl weiter erschwerte. Die psychologischen Schäden durch diesen Selbsthass beeinträchtigten ihr Wohlergehen erheblich, bis die Angriffe auf das World Trade Center in 9/11 und die darauf folgenden Ereignisse sie dazu zwangen, sich ihrem Erbe frontal zu stellen. Als Said Palästina und Beirut häufiger besuchte, verschob sich ihre Perspektive und sie wurde klarer, sich selbst und ihre idenschaften zu sehen.

Filistin'i Aramak: Arap-Amerikalı Bir Ailede Şaşkın Büyümek Ünlü Filistinli akademisyen Edward Said'in kızı ve sofistike bir Lübnanlı anne olan Najla Said, New York'ta benzersiz bir kültürel kimlik kriziyle büyüdü. İkinci nesil bir Arap Amerikalı olarak, ailesinin kendi topraklarıyla olan derin bağlantısını etrafındaki konformist toplumla uzlaştırmak için mücadele etti. Bu anı kitabında Said, ağırlıklı olarak WASP topluluğunda büyürken mirasının karmaşıklığına odaklanarak kendini keşfetme ve kabul etme yolundan bahsediyor. Boston'da bir Episcopalian tarafından vaftiz edilen ve seçkin Yukarı Doğu Yakası Kız Okulu'na katılan Said'in erken yaşamı, gerçek köklerinin inkar edilmesiyle işaretlendi. Gençken, kimlik duygusunu daha da karmaşıklaştıran Yahudi geleneklerini benimsedi. Bu kendinden nefret etmenin psikolojik zararı, Dünya Ticaret Merkezi 9/11 saldırılarına ve daha sonraki olaylara kadar onun refahına önemli bir zarar verdi ve onu mirasıyla yüzleşmeye zorladı. Saeed Filistin ve Beyrut'u daha sık ziyaret ettikçe, bakış açısı değişti ve kendini ve tutkularını görme konusunda daha net hale geldi.
تبحث عن فلسطين: نشأت مرتبكة في عائلة عربية أمريكية نجلاء سعيد، ابنة العالم الفلسطيني الشهير إدوارد سعيد وأم لبنانية متطورة، نشأت في نيويورك مع أزمة هوية ثقافية فريدة. بصفتها أمريكية عربية من الجيل الثاني، كافحت للتوفيق بين علاقة عائلتها العميقة بأراضيها الأصلية والمجتمع المطابق من حولها. في هذه المذكرات، يتحدث سعيد عن طريقه إلى اكتشاف الذات وقبولها، مع التركيز على تعقيدات إرثه أثناء نشأته في مجتمع WASP في الغالب. عمدت من قبل أسقفية في بوسطن وحضرت مدرسة Upper East de للبنات، تميزت حياة سعيد المبكرة بإنكار جذورها الحقيقية. عندما كانت مراهقة، تبنت التقاليد اليهودية، مما زاد من تعقيد إحساسها بالهوية. أثر الضرر النفسي لهذا الكراهية الذاتية بشكل كبير على رفاهيتها حتى أجبرتها هجمات مركز التجارة العالمي على 9/11 والأحداث اللاحقة على مواجهة إرثها وجهاً لوجه. عندما زارت سعيد فلسطين وبيروت بشكل متكرر، تغير وجهة نظرها وأصبحت أكثر وضوحًا بشأن رؤية نفسها وشغفها.
