Against the Wall
The Art of Resistance in Palestine
William Parry
978-1-56976-704-7
$24.95 (CAN $27.95)
“Elegantly realized.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“The wall stands as a dreadful symbol of oppression. The spirit of resistance may be strong but Palestinians need international support. I hope this book makes that more likely.” —Ken Loach, filmmaker
“This book will help eventually pull down the wall.”
—Damon Albarn, musician
“A singular achievement—both a stunning photographic essay of how Israel’s concrete wall has cut into Palestinian land and strangled whole communities and a powerful visual record of how local and international graffiti artists have battered it with their only weapons, paint and spray cans.”
—Joe Sacco, author of Palestine and Footnotes in Gaza

I Killed Scheherazade
Confessions of an Angry Arab Woman
Joumana Haddad
Foreword by Etel Adnan
978-1-56976-840-2
$14.95 (CAN $16.95)
“A very courageous and illuminating book about women in the Arab world. It opens our eyes, destroys our prejudices and is very entertaining.”
—Mario Vargas Llosa, author and Nobel Laureate
“I Killed Scheherazade … is many things: a coming-of-age memoir, a sexual polemic and a spirited call to Arab women to stand up for themselves. There is something in it for Western women, too…. The fate of the honor-killed, acid-scarred, burqa-bound Arab female has implications for the status of women worldwide.”
—New York Times Magazine
“Joumana Haddad is a revolutionary, this book is the manifesto. Read it or be left behind.” —Rabih Alameddine, author of The Hakawati
and Koolaids: The Art of War
“Courageous…. Haddad breaks down the taboo of the Silent Absent Arab Woman.”
—Elfriede Jelinek, novelist, playwright, and Nobel Laureate
“Surprisingly entertaining.” —Publishers Weekly

Our Way to Fight
Israeli and Palestinian Activists for Peace
Michael Riordon
978-1-56976-778-8
$16.95
“[Our Way to Fight] is an exercise in humility. The author, Michael Riordon, limits his commentary to a minimum, and lets the activists speak for themselves. They describe the injustice with their own words, and in the book their humanity and individual stories become inseparable from the stories of repression and resistance in Palestine.”
—Dissident Voice
“Lyrical…. Even while maintaining a sober assessment of the difficult road activists face, simply by demonstrating that Israelis and Palestinians can and do work in common cause, Riordon offers an important corrective to the standard tale of an intractable conflict.”

Spirit of the Phoenix
Beirut and the Story of Lebanon
Tim Llewellyn
978-1-56976-603-3
$16.95 (CAN $18.95)
“Part travelogue, part political vignettes, part personal reminiscences, [Spirit of the Phoenix] captures the essence of this unique and troubled country.” —David Hirst, author of The Gun and the Olive Branch
“Llewellyn, a bright and brave BBC correspondent during many of Lebanon’s earlier seemingly endless little and big wars, has returned decades later to scrutinize Beirut and its still largely unresolved problems. Read his compelling Spirit of the Phoenix and understand how and why that fabled bird of resilient rebirth has survived in Lebanon, but just barely, alas, and missing many of its feathers.”
—Jonathan Randal, former Washington Post Middle East correspondent and author of Osama: The Making of a Terrorist
“With a sense of the richness inherent in real voices [Llewellyn] celebrate[s] the spirit of the country’s indomitable people…. The loving eye that traces the changes in fast-food joints and pubs during a sunset walk down Hamra has a particular appeal.” —Ellen Hardy, TimeOut Beirut
