Read Mary Neznek's Review ([link removed])
Award-winning Palestinian human rights attorney Jonathan Kuttab has written a concise, easy-to-use guide book that opens a “gate to the future” for Israel/Palestine. He provides examples of multi-ethnic, multi-lingual configurations that have worked to create modern state structures. He endorses a confederation model to end Israel’s current descent into a grotesquely lopsided apartheid state that delivers security to neither Israelis nor Palestinians.

Aiming to document what may be the most flawed method of conflict resolution in modern history, scholars Laura Robson and Arie Dubnov have produced Partitions: A Transnational History of Twentieth-Century Territorial Separatism. The anthology brings together the work of ten historians of India, Palestine and Ireland, featuring essays on the origins of partition, its implementation and the ongoing resistance to its destructive results.

Read Dale Sprusansky's Report ([link removed])
Jordan Denari Duffner explores the proliferation of anti-Muslim speech among Christians. She also offers advice to those looking to confront bigotry in their communities. “These conversations are really hard, and I talk in the book about my own failures in this regard and times when I should have stood up and said something, but I didn’t,” she acknowledges. But, we can no longer "let Islamophobic comments slide by,” she urges.

Read Delinda C. Hanley's Review ([link removed])
Hobler takes readers on a “kaleidoscopic journey through the eyes of 101 American Peace Corps volunteers” who served in Libya before and after his 15-month stint in 1968-1969. He manages to weave together entertaining and profound observations from young, idealistic volunteers with an engaging chronicle of Libyan history, politics and culture. He notes that “in the 219-year relationship between the U.S. and Libya, only 23 years or 11 percent of that time, was there an oasis of peace.”

Read Walter L. Hixson's Review ([link removed])
In this richly researched study, French political scientist Gilles Kepel analyzes the “era of chaos” that convulsed the modern Middle East from the 1973 Arab-Israel War to the collapse of the ISIS caliphate. Anyone seeking a detailed analysis of the region’s violent recent past—and especially of the sectarian divide between Sunni and Shi’a Islam that propelled the disorder—will emerge from this study well informed.
