"This is a luminous book of courage and stoicism in women’s voices from a hidden world of cruelties. Meticulous research and analysis reveal unique structural and gendered discrimination and violence faced in Jordan by Palestinian refugee women and girls from Syria. This is a new and shocking indictment of the failure of the UN and international aid agencies to protect. * Victoria Brittain, a former foreign correspondent and Associate Foreign Editor of The Guardian. * Thanks to her unique access, Afaf Jabiri sheds a much-needed light on the lived experiences of Palestinian women attempting to escape war-torn Syria and finding themselves rejected at Jordan's borders. The women's stories in this book are a painful and lucid portrayal of what it means to be undesirable, as the core of a ""Palestinian condition"" . This book is a must read for anyone interested in how racism in the form of anti-Palestinianism impacts the lives and identities of a multiple times displaced population. * Ruba Salih, Professor, University of Bologna, Italy *"
