A Half Century of Occupation: Israel, Palestine, and the World's Most Intractable Conflict Hardcover - 2017
by Gershon Shafir
From the rear cover
"An indispensable guide for anyone who wants to understand the occupation that has blighted Israeli and Palestinian lives for fifty years."--Peter Beinart, author of The Crisis of Zionism "Fifty years after the Six-Day War, Israeli direct control over the West Bank and indirect control over Gaza continue with no end in sight. While younger generations of Palestinians have grown up knowing nothing but occupation, all global citizens need to learn or be reminded of how it came about, its nature, and the reasons for its longevity. Gershon Shafir tells this story masterfully, with clarity and passion. A much-needed guidebook for understanding one of the great moral questions of our time."--James Gelvin, author of The Israel-Palestine Conflict: One Hundred Years of War "A Half Century of Occupation approaches the most fraught of subjects with compelling analysis, meticulous research, and plain old common sense. Shafir's insights are valuable both for those with experience in the politics and history of the Middle East and for those new to the subject."--Ayelet Waldman, novelist, author of Love and Treasure, and coeditor of Kingdom of Olives and Ash "In this thoughtful, sober, and astute study of fifty years of Israeli rule in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, Shafir poses the right questions, treats them with the depth of knowledge and analysis they require and deserve, and reaches conclusions that are insightful and nuanced in equal measure. Additionally, and crucially, he helps us to prepare for the future as we better understand the past. This essential book is certain to withstand the tests of time."--Mouin Rabbani, Senior Fellow, Institute for Palestine Studies
