Rida J’s Reviews > Resistance: My Life for Lebanon > Status Update

Soha writes about her relationship with another detainee at Khiam, Kifah. Soha writes that a large majority of the prisoners were pressured into becoming collaborators, but Kifah was her most beloved and trusted comrade. Kifah was Palestinian from Shatila, who joined the resistance young and bought to Khiam at 18. Soha a communist, Kifah a devout Muslim; united by deep commitment to resistance and love of homeland.

This is as a great autobiography should be; easy to read and delicate with words. Reading through her commitment to resistance and to fight for a new world induces so many emotions of hope and revolutionary optimism. It makes one think of all the power an individual has to change the course of history, and to take it now, to go out and move in rage. It makes me think of all the unwritten-about revolutionaries.
