About this objectPaperback publication titled 'Stitching the Intifada: Embroidery and Resistance in Palestine' by Rachel Dedman. The blurb states: "Tatreez - elaborate hand-embroidery - is an ancient Palestinian craft characterised by remarkable beauty and complexity. Beginning with an introduction to the regional diversity of historic Palestinian dress, Rachel Dedman traces the politicisation of embroidery after the Nabka of 1948. From its evolution into a symbol of the nation, to its powerful presence during the First Intifada, and reimagination by contemporary artists, tatreez in Palestine embodies many forms of personal and public resistance.
