'Finally here is a forward from Anna Baltzer
Dear friends,
Two pieces of news:
I. The major shipment of the new revised edition of "Witness in Palestine: A Jewish American Woman in the Occupied Territories" (originally released by Paradigm Publishers in September) has finally arrived! I have someone helping to send them out (individually, or by the box) so please let me know if you'd like to place an order.
400+ pages full-color (including more than 500 original photos & maps!),
400+ "Witness in Palestine" costs $26.95 at Barnes & Noble or $20 on my
400+ website, http://www.annainthemiddleeast.com./book/ They are even cheaper in
400+ person (see tour details below) or if you write me for a bulk
400+ discount.
Here are some notable reviews of the book:
"Even those who are familiar with the grim reality of the occupied territories will quickly be drawn into a world they had barely imagined by these vivid, searingly honest, intensely acute portrayals of unflagging courage, wanton cruelty, and enduring faith that through non-violent resistance fundamental decency will somehow prevail -- an outcome that lies very much in our hands. I cannot find words to express my admiration for the solidarity workers and peacemakers, international and Israeli, and the people of Palestine whom they are supporting in their struggles to survive and to overcome." -NOAM CHOMSKY
"Baltzer's moving and vivid memoir tells the story of the daily struggle along the Wall in the West Bank, with stories and pictures that capture not just the hardships, but also the resilience of the Palestinian people. It also tells the story of courageous internationals like Baltzer, dedicating their time and energy to the struggle of the suffering, who give many of us hope that, with the people of the world working together, justice and peaceful coexistence in Israel/Palestine are possible." -TANYA REINHART, Israeli activist and author of "Israel/Palestine andb Roadmap to Nowhere"
"By combining a lucid and captivating text with artistic photography, this book draws you into the life of an average Palestinian living under exceptional circumstances of occupation, oppression, and colonization. This vivid account is also a deeply personal story that will inspire you not only to have hope but to actively seek and work for peace and justice." -MAZIN QUMSIYEH, Palestinian-American author of "Sharing the Land of Canaan"
CALL TO ACTION:
A. If your local bookstores don't carry "Witness in Palestine," ask them to! You can fill out a request form and they'll likely order it. Same with libraries...
B. Teachers & professors: "Witness in Palestine" is already being used in several classrooms. It's a cheap and comprehensive textbook on the conflict... Let me know if you'd like a sample copy.
C. Recommend that local media do a book review. I'm happy to send a copy for review.'
