Nuseibeh's ancestor was none other than the legendary Nusayba bint Ka'ab al Khazrajia who fought alongside the Prophet Muhammad at the dawn of Islam. In <i>Namesake</i>, Nuseibeh draws on Nusayba's stories, comparing her experience as an Arab woman today to the distant past, to discover what courage looks like in the context of interminable conflict. <br><br>Intimate and thoughtful, these linked essays offer a remarkable exploration of heritage, gender and the idea of home, and demonstrate how connecting with our history can help us understand ourselves and others today.</p>
