Abstract
The history of mankind is full of wars, divisions, the flow of blood, the flight of refugees
and misery. I long for the day when an African child will be able to roam the world as if
it is rightly his; I long for the day when Palestinian, Guatemalan, Iraqi and Afghan
children will have homes to keep and build upon. I long for the day when we humans
realize that we are all gatherers and wanderers, ever bound to cross each other’s paths,
and that these paths belong to us all. (From Hage’s Acceptance Speech at the 2008
International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award ceremony)
