Book Description
Fugitive Dreams is a slightly fictionalized literary memoir illustrating through personal stories 50 years of life under occupation. Born in Palestine ‘on the “wrong” side of the border,’ Sameer finds his way to America to rebuild his life. His immigrant experience in post-9/11 America is laced to the ongoing conflict at home with the common threads of school shootings, police violence, human rights abuses, activism, and walls. For the sake of his daughter, he decides he must do something.

Author Biography
Ramsey Hanhan, having come to America from Palestine in his teens, had first-hand experience of both the Israeli occupation of his country, and the immigrant journey of rebuilding life anew. A physics professor for 20 years, he was noted for computer models that describe and predict complexity in nature. He now writes to transcend culture, speak for the voiceless, and uncover the beauty of the ordinary. Hanhan holds a Ph.D. in Engineering from the University of Michigan.
