Download or read book Catastrophe Remembered written by Nur Masalha and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-04-04 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1948 Palestine War is known to Israelis as 'the War of Independence'. But for Palestinians, the war is forever the Nakba, the 'catastrophe'. The war led to the creation of the State of Israel and the destruction of much of Palestininan society by the Zionist forces. For all Palestinians, the Nakba has become central to history, memory and identity. This book focuses on Palestinian internal refugees in Israel and internally displaced Palestinians across the Green LIne. It uses oral history and interviews to examine Palestinian identity and memory, indigenous rights, international protection, the 'right of return', and a just solution in Palestine/Israel. Contributors include several distinguished authors and scholars such as William Dalrymple, Prof. Naseer Aruri, Dr. Ilan Pappe, Prof. Isma'il Abu Sa'ad and Dr. Nur Masalha.
Download or read book Israel Palestine and Peace written by Amos Oz and published by HMH. This book was released on 1995-09-04 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Powerful” essays from a founder of the Peace Now movement and advocate for a two-state solution (Library Journal). The haunting poetry of [Oz's] prose and the stunning logic of his testimony make a potent mixture." —Washington Post Book World Amos Oz was one of the first voices of conscience to advocate for a two-state solution. As a founding member of the Peace Now movement, Oz has spent over thirty-five years speaking out on this issue, and these powerful essays and speeches span an important and formative period for understanding today's tension and crises. Whether he is discoursing on the role of writers in society or recalling his grandmother's death in the context of the language's veracity; examining the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a tragicomedy or questioning the Zionist dream, Oz remains trenchant and unflinching in this moving portrait of a divided land. "[Oz is] the modern prophet of Israel." —Sunday Telegraph (UK)
Download or read book Mountain against the Sea written by Salim Tamari and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2008-11-03 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking book on modern Palestinian culture goes beyond the usual focal point of the 1948 war to address the earlier, formative years. Drawing on previously unavailable biographies of Palestinians (including Palestinian Jews), Salim Tamari offers eleven vignettes of Palestine's cultural life in the momentous first half of the twentieth century. He brings to light the memoirs, diaries, letters, and other writings of six Jerusalem intellectuals whose lives spanned (and defined) the period of 1918-1948: a musician, a teacher, a former aristocrat, a doctor, a Bolshevik revolutionary, and a Jewish novelist. These essays present an integrated cultural history that illuminates a watershed in the modern social history of the Arab East, the formulation of the Arab Enlightenment.
Download or read book Essays on Palestine written by Robert Fantina and published by . This book was released on 2017-08-06 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A series of essays by author and activist Robert Fantina that includes information and commentary on the situation on the ground in Palestine, both the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, as well as on U.S. support for Israel's occupation and war crimes. The attitudes of Israeli government officials are also discussed. These essays were originally published by CounterPunch, Mondoweiss, the Palestine News Network, and several other online journals. "The world is awakening to Israeli apartheid. As with South Africa, it will not end overnight, but it will end, and Palestine will be free." -Robert Fantina "Fantina's essay collection is powerful, written in a lucid style, meant to prick our conscience. ... This collection of essays, above all, is a call to humanity to hear the voice of persecuted people of Palestine ..." -Idrisa Pandit, Director, Studies in Islam, Renison University College, University of Waterloo "There are few issues so muddied (especially here in the U.S.) than the Zionist occupation of Palestine. I highly recommend this book for clarity and truth in an age where both are in such short supply." -Cindy Sheehan, peace and social justice activist "As Bob Fantina makes crystal clear, the U.S. government's view of Israel as justified in any violation of law and worthy of billions of dollars worth of free weapons every year is false, immoral, and criminal. The view ... of the Israeli government as a rogue terrorist organization is fact-based and critically important ... Whether you're new to the subject or painfully familiar with it, this book will enrich your understanding and your action." -David Swanson, activist, journalist, radio host and author of War Is A Lie
Download or read book From India to Palestine written by Githa Hariharan and published by Leftword Books. This book was released on 2014 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1948, Israel was created on Palestinian land. Palestinians lost their homes and villages; huge numbers were expelled; they became refugees elsewhere or in their own land. In 1967, the West Bank and Gaza were also occupied by Israel.//For more than five decades now, Palestinians have suffered the violent and unjust realities of occupation. Not only does India have strong historical ties with the Arab world; but also the Indian freedom movement saw the struggle of the Palestinians for a homeland as a genuine struggle against colonialism. Both Gandhi and Nehru expressed this in no uncertain terms; so, later, did the non-aligned movement. Indian policy towards Palestine shifted radically in the 1990s. Israel has now become a major supplier of arms to India; it is also part of the complicated shift in India's relationship with America, and India 's emerging vision of itself in the world.//Fourteen new essays on India and Palestine-Israel by writers, scholars and activists: Aijaz Ahmad - Meena Alexander - Githa Hariharan - Sunaina Maira - Nivedita Menon - Ritu Menon - Sukumar Muralidharan - Seema Mustafa - Aditya Nigam - Prabhat Patnaik - Vijay Prashad - Prabir Purkayastha - A.K. Ramakrishnan - Nayantara Sahgal - Achin Vanaik

Book excerpt: “I am not afraid to look.” – Tom Hurndall, 2003. On the eve of the invasion of Iraq in February 2003, Tom Hurndall, a photography student at Manchester Metropolitan University, travelled from Manchester to the Middle East to witness the horrors in Iraq and then later in Palestine. Tom was shot in the head by an Israeli soldier on 11 April 2003 whilst attempting to rescue two children trapped by Israeli sniper fire. He later died in hospital on 13 January 2004 without gaining consciousness. He is remembered for his determination to bear witness to the conflict in Palestine and his bravery to capture the atrocities directed towards the suppression of the Palestine people. This book is a collection of lectures written by reputable scholars who offer diverse perspectives on the historical, political and cultural struggles in Palestine. Encompassed in the pages are sixteen chapters produced for the Tom Hurndall Memorial Lecture Group. Unlike predecessors of this topic, this book offers a thought-provoking and comprehensive analysis of Palestine, including architectural, cultural, legal, sociological, and psychological questions, providing a larger scope of study that has not yet been done before. Ultimately, this book explores oppression in Palestine and beyond in the Middle East. The vast study and in-depth exploration makes this an ideal book for those who are interested in the Palestine conflict, Zionism, Israel and further conflict in the Middle East, as well as a necessity for those who are studying the topic in education settings.

The authors identify a series of recently published books and provide critical commentary. In their examination, they go beyond the works themselves to comment on the state of scholarship and social conditions. Topics covered include Israeli writers' reactions to the Holocaust, critical analyses of the popular Israeli poet and novelist Amnon Shamosh, the linguistic relations between Yiddish and Modern Hebrew, ethnic relations, the emerging "mainstream" of Israeli culture, politics, Israeli historical revisionism, and social, psychological, and political aspects of the continuing Israel-Palestine conflict.
