Book Synopsis Seven Pillars of Jewish Denial by : Kim Chernin
Download or read book Seven Pillars of Jewish Denial written by Kim Chernin and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2004 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raised by an activist mother, Kim Chernin was taught that the politics of religion are just that: politics. As her beliefs evolved, she came to understand the necessity of embracing her Jewish heritage while questioning the notion of taking on Jewishness as a role, religion, and qualifying trait, particularly with respect to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. The essays inSeven Pillars of Jewish Denialset forth a justifiable criticism of Israel. Chernin explores memory, survivor's guilt, and denial as debilitating to Jewish consciousness, which cannot see criticism of Israel as morally feasible in an anti-Semitic world. In her view, creating true peace requires understanding and believing that the lives of other human beings matter more than Jewish ideology.

Book excerpt: Abu Ghraib unveiled a lengthy list of disastrous actions and cover-ups by the Bush administration and the American military.

Download or read book What Does Al Qaeda Want? written by and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2004-11-23 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the aftermath of the September 11th attacks, al-Qaeda has become the most infamous terrorist organization in history. While their actions are deplorable, it remains a populist and idealist movement—and one that continues to spread. Despite heavy media coverage, most people are unaware of the group's ultimate goals. Sampling from actual al-Qaeda texts, this is al-Qaeda in its own words, rather than another interpretation (which often emphasizes the inflammatory religious rhetoric) offered by the Bush administration and other factions of the Western world. Introductions and commentary provide the historical context necessary to understand fully the interconnection between the religious, social, and political issues that led to the emergence of Osama bin Laden and his jihad against the West. These primary sources enable readers to discern the fundamental convictions underlying the group's demands, and help answer the question, "What does al Qaeda want?"
Download or read book Empire 2.0 written by Régis Debray and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2004 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by fictional character "Xavier de C***" as a plea to an American president, Empire 2.0 is a scorching satire of totalitarianism. In it, the hero, a Frenchman, renounces his citizenship to become an American. This breezy book argues that resistance to America's overwhelming power is futile and that to survive, Europe must allow itself to be annexed by the U.S. Debray's insights into the growing European resentment of American unilateralism could not be more timely.
Book Synopsis The Geneva Accord by : Michael Lerner
Download or read book The Geneva Accord written by Michael Lerner and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2004 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Geneva Accord Establishes the Basis for a Fair, Legal, ethical, and militarily secure agreement between two semicontiguous states, Israel and Palestine, each acknowledging the other's history and cultural narratives and respecting the rights of minority populations. It defines Palestine as consisting of most of the West Bank and Gaza joined by a corridor, with its security guaranteed not by its own army but (chiefly) a multinational force. The Accord also provides a final status for both Jewish settlers and Palestinian refugees, compensating each individual or state for losses of territory. Part of the compensation from Israel will take into account the value of Israeli settlements transferred to the State of Palestine. This document, developed by representatives of the Israeli and Palestinian peoples and incorporating the key elements and points of agreement from the Oslo Accords and Camp David Summit, is the only present legitimate instrument seeking a resolution to the dispute between Israel and Palestine. Better than a road map without a destination, it is inevitable outcome, more or less, of all reasonable negotiation. Book jacket.
Book Synopsis Everywhere a Guest, Nowhere at Home by : Kim Chernin
Download or read book Everywhere a Guest, Nowhere at Home written by Kim Chernin and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2009 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of this book is a phrase often used to describe the fate of the Jewish people in the world and invokes one of the central arguments for the creation of the state of Israel. In this thoughtful collection of essays, Kim Chernin suggests that the Zionist struggle has left the Palestinian people in a similar predicament; now they, too, are merely guests in their former homeland. Confronting her own uncritical support of Israel, Chernin tries to reconcile her desire for a Jewish homeland with the reality of the violence carried out in order to secure it. Following an in-depth examination of the perspectives of both Jews and Palestinians, Chernin writes eloquently of the process by which she gradually learned to hear once-ignored Palestinian voices. By combining her knowledge of Jewish history with her insights as a psychotherapist, Chernin discovers the psychological mechanisms that have kept her and other Jews from fully comprehending the suffering of both parties in this seemingly endless conflict. She argues persuasively that by overcoming the mental blocks that prevent so many from seeing the Palestinian point of view, Jews can learn to feel empathy for them without diminishing their love and support for Israel.

Book Synopsis In My Mother's House by : Kim Chernin
Download or read book In My Mother's House written by Kim Chernin and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In My Mother’s House depicts a profound, intergenerational struggle between a powerful, politically engaged mother, Rose, and her spiritually inclined poet and writer daughter, Kim. Framing this collision are two other generations. There is Rose’s mother from the shtetl, a broken woman regularly beaten by her husband but the source of the family’s stories. And Kim’s daughter, a second-generation, fully assimilated girl of eight at the time the book begins. Four generations, from the shtetl to an affluent intellectual household in Berkeley, California, the story is a historical record and reckoning between the old activist left and a beginning feminist movement. The double narrative allows Kim to explore the evolving relationship between mother and daughter, who, through their storytelling, are brought to a profound understanding and reconciliation.
