{"product_id":"9781935982340","title":"Chief Complaint: A Country Doctor's Tales of Life in Galilee","description":"With these short stories, Hatim Kanaaneh explores the changing, precarious, and ever-shrinking world of Palestinians living in Israel. As his village’s first Western-trained physician, Kanaaneh had intimate access to his neighbor’s lives, and he chronicles them here in a fictionalized collection of vignettes. His cunningly crafted stories reveal the struggles, triumphs, memories, and hopes of the indigenous Palestinian community living in a state that neither acknowledges their past nor supports their future.\u003cp\u003eFollowing a diagnostic scheme used by physicians worldwide, each story is titled with the “chief complaint” of its protagonist. Taken together, the stories poignantly convey the indigenous Palestinian community’s foundational chief complaint: its conflicted relationship with the state of Israel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Just World Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057112072432,"sku":"9781935982340","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781935982340","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
