WOMEN AND THE POLITICS OF MILITARY CONFRONTATION
Palestinian and Israeli Gendered Narratives of Dislocation
Edited by Nahla Abdo, Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Carleton
University and Ronit Lentin, Department of Sociology, Trinity College,
Dublin
As the crisis in Israel does not show any signs of abating, this remarkable
collection, edited by an Israeli and a Palestinian scholar and with
contributions by Palestinian and Israeli women, offers a vivid and harrowing
picture of the conflict and of its impact on daily life, especially as it
affects women's experiences that differ significantly from those of men.
"A brave and fractured book that bears the marks (and wounds) of conflictual
histories and contemporary confrontations in Palestine/Israel." -Lila
Abu-Lughod, Columbia University
"History and biography converge in this stunning collection of personal
narratives . testament to the urgency of dialogue between Palestinian and
Israeli women. I know of no other work that so deftly expresses the tenacity
of surviving, the daring of resistance, and the will to forge a just
peace." -R. Ruth Linden, University of California, San Francisco
