Hsiao-Chi Chu, The Forgotten Refugee Heritage in Palestine (遊走邊緣的國度：那些被遺忘的流亡行李－巴勒斯坦), Refugee Path, 2023
A friend once described Palestine as being like Taiwan—a place on the margins. After visiting, it felt as though I had only gained a superficial understanding, without truly grasping its deeper realities. This led me to return to Palestine in search of my own understanding of “home” and “identity”…
The book A Country on the Margins: Forgotten Luggage of Exile — Palestine is a collection of ethnographic field notes. It brings together observations made by the author between 2018 and 2023 in Israel, Palestine, and Jordan, documenting lived experiences and real stories encountered along the way. Rather than challenging official histories shaped by nation-states, the work seeks to restore and foreground personal memories and everyday experiences.
Through various mediums—such as food, heritage, and embroidery—the author reflects on the connection between Palestinians and their land, extending the discussion to themes of the individual, the nation, and the idea of home. It further explores the significance of “land connection” in shaping Palestinian identity.
朋友說著巴勒斯坦好比台灣—化外之地，去了一趟，看似了解了些皮毛，卻沒能真正深入了解。於是決定再踏上巴勒斯坦，尋找對於「家」與「認同」的想像⋯⋯
該書《遊走邊緣的國度：那些被遺忘的流亡行李—巴勒斯坦》為以民族誌方法撰寫之田野雜記，內容彙整收錄作者於2018-2023年之間在以色列、巴勒斯坦、約旦的觀察，試圖紀錄期間所遇之真實故事，並非要推翻國家制度下談論的官方歷史，更期待還原個人真實生活的記憶與經驗。同時，作者以各類媒材，如飲食、遺產、刺繡等內容，回應巴勒斯坦人與土地之間的連結，延伸切入「個人」、「家國」、「家園」的議題，延伸思考「土地連結」對於巴勒斯坦人的重要性。
