Now she recounts her homecoming as a practicing Jew, seeking her faith community and justice for Palestine. Painfully excluded from her community, she slowly constructed a liberatory Jewish identity - both activist and spiritual. She co-founded Alternative Jewish Voices to call for justice in a pluralist, anti-racist Jewish voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJewish Not Zionist also explores the weaponization of antisemitism and challenges the groups who claim to speak for the Jewish community.

Garson writes with the arohoa (love) of Gaza and an unwavering resolve learned on the front lines of the international movement for justice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Interventions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44231547093037,"sku":"9781764182805","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0374\/0001\/8989\/files\/9781764182805.jpg?v=1759982257"},{"product_id":"the-invention-of-the-jewish-people-1","title":"The Invention of the Jewish People","description":"\u003cp\u003e[Second hand] A historical tour de force that demolishes the myths and taboos that have surrounded Jewish and Israeli history, The Invention of the Jewish People offers a new account of both that demands to be read and reckoned with. Was there really a forced exile in the first century, at the hands of the Romans? Should we regard the Jewish people, throughout two millennia, as both a distinct ethnic group and a putative nation—returned at last to its Biblical homeland?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShlomo Sand argues that most Jews actually descend from converts, whose native lands were scattered far across the Middle East and Eastern Europe. The formation of a Jewish people and then a Jewish nation out of these disparate groups could only take place under the sway of a new historiography, developing in response to the rise of nationalism throughout Europe. Beneath the biblical back fill of the nineteenth-century historians, and the twentieth-century intellectuals who replaced rabbis as the architects of Jewish identity, The Invention of the Jewish People uncovers a new narrative of Israel’s formation, and proposes a bold analysis of nationalism that accounts for the old myths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a long stay on Israel’s bestseller list, and winning the coveted Aujourd’hui Award in France, The Invention of the Jewish People is finally available in English. The central importance of the conflict in the Middle East ensures that Sand’s arguments will reverberate well beyond the historians and politicians that he takes to task. Without an adequate understanding of Israel’s past, capable of superseding today’s opposing views, diplomatic solutions are likely to remain elusive. In this iconoclastic work of history, Shlomo Sand provides the intellectual foundations for a new vision of Israel’s future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66707679313965,"sku":"9781788736619","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0374\/0001\/8989\/files\/9781788736619.jpg?v=1778648968"},{"product_id":"from-the-diary-of-a-snail-picador-books","title":"From the Diary of a Snail (Picador Books)","description":"\u003cpre class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large tw-ta\" data-placeholder=\"Translation\" id=\"tw-target-text\" role=\"text\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwjZif7bwbWUAxW9SGwGHQPMGHMQ3ewLegQIDRAV\" dir=\"ltr\" aria-label=\"Translated text: This is a book with a distinct autobiographical element.
