A Wall in Palestine
René Backmann, Translated by A. Kaiser
Picador
"[A] well-written history of the barrier . . . The most detailed account of the barrier to date. Backmann places the barrier smack in the middle of the controversy over Israeli confiscation of Palestinian lands: He makes a compelling case that Israel set out to expand West Bank Jewish settlements on the Israeli side at the expense of thousands of acres of Palestinian territory."—

We Just Want To Live Here
A Palestinian Teenager, an Israeli Teenager, An Unlikely Friendship
Amal Rifa'i and Odelia Ainbinder with Sylke Tempel
St. Martin's Griffin
"The letters exchanged between Amal and Odelia are profoundly moving. The conflict between Jews and Arabs has been described in countless books and argued in unending polemics, but here, in the letters between these two eighteen-year-old women, an Arab and a Jew, is the heartbreaking essence of the quarrel. It is the battle of two rights; the Palestinians who have been made into semi-strangers in their homeland and the Jews who have no other place which is central to their history, and which is always ready to receive Jews in flights from persecution. In these letters (an idea brilliantly conceived and carried through by Sylke Tempel) Amal and Odelia educate each other. The conclude together that their two peoples cannot continue to make war. They must agree that the are destined, perhaps even condemned, to live together in the land, as first in two separate states and ultimately, in growing comradeship. This is the book for anyone who wants to feel and understand the emotions on both sides. It will become a classic."—

What Do Muslims Believe?
The Roots and Realities of Modern Islam
Ziauddin Sardar
Walker & Company
"Just over 100 pages of tightly formatted highlights of the history, significance and practice of the [faith] and concludes with suggestions for further study . . . well-indexed . . . offer[s] more than facts . . . In describing how Muslims are expected to follow the daily life practices of the Prophet by how they eat, dress, even clean their teeth, Sardar adds that among his followers, 'the Prophet's generosity and forgiveness, compassion and civility, his strong sense of justice and equality, his passion for thought and learning are often conspicuous by their absence.'"—

Writing in the Dark
Essays on Literature and Politics
David Grossman; Translated from the Hebrew by Jessica Cohen
Picador
"Grossman's latest collection of essays and speeches,
Writing in the Dark
, concerns the impact of grief and violence on the body politic and the private imagination . . .
Writing in the Dark
is less a work of literary criticism or political analysis than an extended rumination on the struggle and the thrill of shaping words into stories and reclaiming their meaning and beauty from the 'language defrauders and language rapists.' The book is a response to a question Grossman first explored in
See Under: Love
, where he imagined what might have happened to him had he been stuck in a concentration camp."—
