Book Description
The state of Israel is often spoken of as a haven for the Jewish people, a place rooted in the story of a nation dispersed, wandering the earth in search of their homeland. Born in adversity but purportedly nurtured by liberal ideals, Israel has never known peace, experiencing instead a state of constant war that has divided its population along the stark and seemingly unbreachable lines of dissent around the relationship between unrestricted citizenship and Jewish identity. By focusing on the perceptions and histories of Israel’s most marginalized stakeholders—Palestinian Israelis, Arab Jews, and non-Israeli Jews—Atalia Omer cuts to the heart of the Israeli-Arab conflict, demonstrating how these voices provide urgently needed resources for conflict analysis and peacebuilding. Navigating a complex set of arguments about ethnicity, boundaries, and peace, and offering a different approach to the renegotiation and reimagination of national identity and citizenship, Omer pushes the conversation beyond the bounds of the single narrative and toward a new and dynamic concept of justice—one that offers the prospect of building a lasting peace.

Book Description
The age of human rights has been kindest to the rich. Even as state violations of political rights garnered unprecedented attention due to human rights campaigns, a commitment to material equality disappeared. In its place, market fundamentalism has emerged as the dominant force in national and global economies. In this provocative book, Samuel Moyn analyzes how and why we chose to make human rights our highest ideals while simultaneously neglecting the demands of a broader social and economic justice. In a pioneering history of rights stretching back to the Bible, Not Enough charts how twentieth-century welfare states, concerned about both abject poverty and soaring wealth, resolved to fulfill their citizens’ most basic needs without forgetting to contain how much the rich could tower over the rest. In the wake of two world wars and the collapse of empires, new states tried to take welfare beyond its original European and American homelands and went so far as to challenge inequality on a global scale. But their plans were foiled as a neoliberal faith in markets triumphed instead. Moyn places the career of the human rights movement in relation to this disturbing shift from the egalitarian politics of yesterday to the neoliberal globalization of today. Exploring why the rise of human rights has occurred alongside enduring and exploding inequality, and why activists came to seek remedies for indigence without challenging wealth, Not Enough calls for more ambitious ideals and movements to achieve a humane and equitable world.

Book Description
In this lucid and timely new book, Jeremy Pressman demonstrates that the default use of military force on both sides of the Arab-Israeli conflict has prevented its peaceful resolution. Whether called deterrence or war, armed struggle or terrorism, the history of the conflict reveals that violence has been counterproductive. Drawing on historical evidence from the 1950s to the present, The sword is not enough pushes back against the dominant belief that military force leads to triumph while negotiations and concessions lead to defeat and further unwelcome challenges. Violence weakens the security situation, bolsters adversaries, and, especially in the case of Palestine, has sabotaged political aims. Studiously impartial and accessibly written, this book shows us that diplomacy is the only answer.

Book Description
When Jesus walked the earth, He was "the Word" in human form. His presence represented the magnificence of God's love, voluntarily sacrificing Jesus's sinless blood as payment for our sins. This book, Was Jesus's Blood Not Enough?, is a collection of letters, which served to provide encouragement, love, strength, and forgiveness, showing that God's word is as real as it was when Jesus walked the earth. In a society where communication remains restricted by constantly shortening character limits, our expressions are often quick and short and frequently miss the point. While writing letters appears to be a dying art, some gifts never get old. Letters are far more physical than the paper on which they rest, with expressions of personal information and details, which have had life breath blown into them from the heart of the writer. A letter's heartbeat can be felt over again with each reading. In times when the comfort of hugs is impossible, the encouragement of sincere words can serve as the type of relief that can only touch the heart. This collection of real letters shows how expressions of love based on the Word of God can help others during the spectrum of life's experiences. Whether in times of celebration or appreciation or those marked by fear, depression, grief, or hopelessness, many recipients found these letters to be encouraging and supporting. Indeed, some people carry these letters to serve as armor during times of weakness. What began as a request to write one letter to a man dying of cancer mushroomed into many. Some letters were requested and others sent unsolicited yet all letters were infused with love. It is certain that as you read these letters, you will find some that will touch your heart or could help someone you know. Keishan J. Davis, Esq. Son of the author, A. Virginia Smith-Davis

Book Description
"Like many activists in our tradition, Simanga has been lovingly mentored. His history of street organizing and membership in Black organizations have placed him in the unique position of having an answer: we are fighting for our humanity, to be whole, to be who we are in concert with the rest of humanity without the necessity to yield the parts of us that others find offensive because of the narrative created to diminish us and justify our exploitation. This book is carefully and strategically wrapped throughout in well-thought out essays, poems, personal thoughts, and lessons for the reader looking for more... a critical document that demands that readers think, rethink, and continue to re-access where we are as Black individuals, families, communities, organizations, institutions, businesses, scholars, and, of course, artists... a loving reminder and refresher course for veterans of Black Struggle and an urgent call and confirmation for the newly-initiated... Read carefully, take notes, pass on to the young and not so young as quickly as possible. No One Can Be At Peace Unless They Have Freedom is a "think changer" and should be in all personal and public libraries." Book jacket.
