Born near Nazareth as a Palestinian citizen of Israel, Majeda Awawdeh learns early the limits imposed on her body, her voice and her dreams.   After marrying at just seventeen to escape an increasingly stifling home life and continue her education, Majeda finds herself shouldering the double burden of occupation and patriarchy in another kind of prison. Armed only with singular determination, love for her three young children and passion for learning, she begins to redraw the boundaries of her reality.   In The Sky Is Concave, Majeda recounts her journey through a childhood shaped by civil discrimination and rising religious conservatism to hard-won intellectual, financial and personal freedom as a scholar and award-winning educational entrepreneur in Australia.  Written with fierce, poetic honesty, The Sky Is Concave is a testament to courage and reinvention. It is an unforgettable story of daring to question the limits of your world and reshaping your own sky.\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN13: 9780702271335\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNumber of Pages: 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdition: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication Date: 29 Sep 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: University of Queensland Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication City, Country: St Lucia, Australia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions (cm): 22.7(H)x15.2(L)x2.9(W)368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight (gm): 368\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h4\u003eDr Majeda Awawdeh is an academic, entrepreneur and advocate for women's education based in Sydney, Australia.
