"type": "/type/text",
"value": "\"In this groundbreaking book, published on the fiftieth anniversary of the Occupation, the outspoken and radical Israeli historian Ilan Pappé examines the most contested ideas concerning the origins and identity of the contemporary state of Israel. The \"ten myths\" that Pappé explores--repeated endlessly in the media, enforced by the military, accepted without question by the world's governments--reinforce the regional status quo. He explores the claim that Palestine was an empty land at the time of the Balfour Declaration, as well as the formation of Zionism and its role in the early decades of nation building. He asks whether the Palestinians voluntarily left their homeland in 1948, and whether June 1967 was a war of \"no choice.\" Turning to the myths surrounding the failures of the Camp David Accords and the official reasons for the attacks on Gaza, Pappé explains why the two-state solution is no longer viable.\"--Publisher's description."

"description": "En este amplio y brillante conjunto de ensayos, la reconocida y erudita activista Angela Davis expone las conexiones entre las luchas contra la violencia estatal y la opresión a lo largo de la historia y en todo el mundo, nos lleva de vuelta a la historia de los fundadores de la lucha revolucionaria y antirracista, pero también nos lleva hacia la posibilidad de la solidaridad y lucha interseccionales. Davis reúne en sus siempre lúcidas palabras nuestra historia y el futuro más prometedor de la libertad, haciendo hincapié en el papel que el pueblo puede y debe jugar. Teniendo en cuenta lo ocurrido en Ferguson recientemente y la continua agresión israelí al pueblo palestino, sus palabras resuenan hoy más que nunca.\r\n\r\nDavis discute los legados de las luchas de liberación anteriores, desde el movimiento de liberación negra hasta el movimiento contra el *apartheid* de Sudáfrica. Destaca las conexiones y analiza las luchas actuales contra el terrorismo estatal, desde Ferguson a Palestina. Frente a un mundo de injusticia indignante, nos desafía a imaginar y construir el movimiento por la liberación humana. Y, al hacerlo, nos recuerda que «la libertad es una batalla constante».",

Israeli soldiers capture and rape a young Palestinian woman, and kill and bury her in the sand. Many years later, a woman in Ramallah becomes fascinated to the point of obsession with this ‘minor detail’ of history. A haunting meditation on war, violence and memory, Minor Detail cuts to the heart of the Palestinian experience of dispossession, life under occupation, and the persistent difficulty of piecing together a narrative in the face of ongoing erasure and disempowerment."

"value": "One of the Arab world's greatest poets uses the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon and the shelling of Beirut as the setting for this sequence of prose poems. Mahmoud Darwish vividly recreates the sights and sounds of a city under terrible siege. As fighter jets scream overhead, he explores the war-ravaged streets of Beirut on August 6th (Hiroshima Day).\r\n\r\nMemory for Forgetfulness (original Arabic title: ذاكرة للنسيان) is an extended reflection on the invasion and its political and historical dimensions. It is also a journey into personal and collective memory. What is the meaning of exile? What is the role of the writer in time of war? What is the relationship of writing (memory) to history (forgetfulness)? In raising these questions, Darwish implicitly connects writing, homeland, meaning, and resistance in an ironic, condensed work that combines wit with rage."
