What is Checkpoint

As a requirement of life conditions today, many nations around the world speak several languages. This creates multi-social, cultural, and linguistic identities which bring about multilingualism. Multilingualism creates plurality within different societies and opens several doors in the world. Being with multiple identities also promotes awareness of multiple life perspectives and cultures of Palestinians, Bedouins, and Israelis. This diversity is explored through the narrative approach of autoethnography which serves to lay the foundation of this narrative. This approach mainly explores the life stories and personal experiences of an Arab Muslim Bedouin Palestinian Israeli girl, who speaks Arabic, Hebrew, and English. In this sense, this narrative illustrates the experience of a multilingual/plurilingual female whose literacy becomes a rich material for different audiences who might find this narrative a valuable lens to different contexts, geographical areas, gender, and age. This chapter is a valuable contribution because it overcomes various prejudices through life stories that develop an understanding and empathy for the lives afar, and eventually their lives matter.
