\r\n Viola Raheb and Heidemarie Winkel (editors): WOMEN'S POLITICAL BIOGRAPHIES IN THE MENAT REGION<\/span>\r\n <\/h3>\r\n <\/a>\r\n
\r\n

At the end of the conference held at the Bruno Kreisky Forum in November 2023, titled \u201eWomen\u2019s lives and agency in the MENAT Region - between political activism and realism\u201c, women from various countries and backgrounds were invited to illuminate their contexts, socio-economic and political developments, and violence \u2013 particularly gender-based violence \u2013 during wartime and its impact on women\u2019s lives, engagement, and agency. With the rise of populism and reactionary movements, women's rights appear to necessitate renegotiation. As a consequence of polarisation and ambivalence, listening to and understanding women from the MENAT region is becoming less important.
\nIn many Western countries, a dominant perception of the lives and work of women in the MENAT region prevails, and a knowledge deficit compared to other regions of the world, e.g. Latin America, still exists. The book aims to give female political actors from the region a face and a name by using biographical essays as a method of knowledge production and awareness-raising, while promoting synergies and advocating the need for networking and cooperation.<\/p>\n

\u201eThis book presents eleven biographies from seven different countries, featuring individuals from diverse generations, backgrounds, and areas of engagement. In their biographies, the contributors delve into the political developments of their countries and the region over recent decades. Historical political phases, such as the end of colonial rule and the ensuing period of independence in Tunisia, the era of Ba'athist rule and the war in Syria, or the Palestinian Nakba of 1948 and the ongoing wars and displacement of Palestinians, are embodied in the lives of the women narrators and how these phases have shaped and continue to shape their lives and work.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/em>Viola Raheb, Co-Editor<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n The Arab and Jewish Questions<\/span>\r\n <\/h3>\r\n <\/a>\r\n
\r\n

Geographies of Engagement in Palestine and Beyond<\/p>\n

Edited by Bashir Bashir and Leila Farsakh
\nColumbia University Press
\nNineteenth-century Europe turned the political status of its Jewish communities into the \u201cJewish Question\u201d, as both Christianity and rising forms of nationalism viewed Jews as the ultimate other. With the onset of Zionism, this \u201cquestion\u201d migrated to Palestine and intensified under British colonial rule and in the aftermath of the Holocaust. Zionism\u2019s attempt to solve the \u201cJewish Question\u201d created what came to be known as the \u201cArab Question\u201d, which concerned the presence and rights of the Arab population in Palestine. For the most part, however, Jewish settlers denied or dismissed the question they created, to the detriment of both Arabs and Jews in Palestine and elsewhere.<\/p>\n

This book brings together leading scholars to consider how these two questions are entangled historically and in the present day. It offers critical analyses of Arab engagements with the question of Jewish rights alongside Zionist and non-Zionist Jewish considerations of Palestinian identity and political rights. Together, the essays show that the Arab and Jewish questions, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in which they have become subsumed, belong to the same thorny history. Despite their major differences, the historical Jewish and Arab questions are about the political rights of oppressed groups and their inclusion within exclusionary political communities-a question that continues to foment tensions in the Middle East, Europe, and the United States. Shedding new light on the intricate relationships among Orientalism, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, colonialism, and the impasse in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, this book reveals the inseparability of Arab and Jewish struggles for self-determination and political equality.<\/p>\n

Contributors include Gil Anidjar, Brian Klug, Amal Ghazal, Ella Shohat, Hakem Al-Rustom, Hillel Cohen, Yuval Evri, Derek Penslar, Jacqueline Rose, Moshe Behar, Maram Masarwi, and the editors, Bashir Bashir and Leila Farsakh.<\/p>\n

\r\n Palestine 2030 \u2013 A Decade of Clarity and Renewal<\/span>\r\n <\/h3>\r\n <\/a>\r\n
\r\n

Mapping the Transformations in the Three Spheres of Influence: Israel, the Region, and the International
\nPublished by Palestine Strategy Group<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Palestine Strategy Group (PSG)<\/a>, partner of the\u00a0Bruno Kreisky Forum for International Dialogue<\/a>, convenes meetings, focus groups, develops strategic analysis, scenario planning and provides a forum for debate on policy and future direction. PSG has been busy working towards the publication and launch of the \u2018Palestine 2030 \u2013 A Decade of Clarity and Renewal\u2019 report.<\/p>\n

\u2018Palestine 2030\u2019 builds on twelve specially commissioned research papers and several in-person workshops that analyse the Palestinian issue through the lens of the changing Israeli, regional and international contexts. The report provides up-to-date insights into the contemporary realities of the Palestinian struggle for freedom within this changing environment and offers options, scenarios and pathways towards rejuvenating Palestinian morale and a peaceful settlement of the conflict.<\/p>\n

The report is a collective output, enriched by feedback received from round-table participants throughout the drafting process, including Palestinian academic, political and civil society leaders from the West Bank and Gaza, Israel, as well as from the Refugee and Diaspora Communities.<\/p>\n

The report was launched on 30 June 2020.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n The Holocaust and the Nakba<\/span>\r\n <\/h3>\r\n <\/a>\r\n
\r\n

A New Grammar of Trauma and History
\nEdited by Bashir Bashir and Amos Goldberg.
\nForeword by Elias Khoury. Afterword by Jacqueline Rose.<\/p>\n

In this groundbreaking book, leading Arab and Jewish intellectuals examine how and why the Holocaust and the Nakba are interlinked, without blurring the fundamental differences between them. While these two foundational tragedies are often discussed separately and in abstraction from the constitutive global historical contexts of nationalism and colonialism, The Holocaust and the Nakba explores the historical, political, and cultural intersections between them. The majority of the contributors argue that these intersections are embedded in cultural imaginations, colonial and asymmetrical power relations, realities, and structures. Focusing on them paves the way for a new political, historical, and moral grammar that enables a joint Arab-Jewish dwelling and supports historical reconciliation in Israel\/Palestine.<\/p>\n

This book does not seek to draw a parallel or comparison between the Holocaust and the Nakba, nor to merely inaugurate a \u201cdialogue\u201d between them. Instead, it searches for a new historical and political grammar for relating and narrating their complicated intersections. The book features prominent international contributors, including a foreword by Lebanese novelist Elias Khoury on the centrality of the Holocaust and the Nakba in humanity's essential struggle against racism, and an afterword by literary scholar Jacqueline Rose on the challenges and contributions of linking the Holocaust and the Nakba for power to shift and for a world of justice and equality to be created between the two peoples. The Holocaust and the Nakba is the first extended and collective scholarly treatment in English of these two constitutive traumas together.<\/p>\n

\r\n Do I belong?<\/span>\r\n <\/h3>\r\n
\r\n

REFLECTIONS FROM EUROPE<\/h3>\n

Edited by Anthony Lerman<\/p>\n

\u2018Belonging\u2019 is both a fundamental human emotion and a political project that affects millions. Since its foundation in 1957, the European Union has encouraged people across its member states to feel a sense of belonging to one united community, with mixed results. Today, faced with the fracturing impacts of the migration crisis, the threat of terrorism and rising tensions within countries, governments within and outside the EU seek to impose a different kind of belonging on their populations through policies of exclusion and bordering.
\nIn this collection of original essays, a diverse group of novelists, journalists and academics reflect on their own individual senses of European belonging. In creative and disarming ways, they confront the challenges of nationalism, populism, racism and fundamentalism.
\nDo I Belong? offers fascinating insights into such questions as: Why fear growing diversity? Is there a European identity? Who determines who belongs? Is a single sense of \u2018good\u2019 belonging in Europe dangerous? This collection provides a unique commentary on an insufficiently understood but defining phenomenon of our age.
\nAuthors include: Zia Haider Rahman, Goran Rosenberg, Isolde Charim, Hanno Loewy, Diana Pinto, Nira Yuval-Davis and Doron Rabinovici, among others.<\/p>\n
