In Kingdom of Olives and Ash, Michael Chabon and Ayelet Waldman, two of today's most renowned novelists and essayists, have teamed up with the Israeli NGO Breaking the Silence--an organization comprised of former Israeli soldiers who served in the occupied territories and saw firsthand the injustice there--and a host of illustrious writers to tell the stories of the people on the ground in the contested territories. Kingdom of Olives and Ash includes contributions from several of today's most esteemed storytellers including: Colum McCann, Jacqueline Woodson, Colm Toibin, Geraldine Brooks, Dave Eggers, Hari Kunzru, Raja Shehadeh, Mario Vargas Llosa and Assaf Gavron, as well as from editors Chabon and Waldman. Through these incisive, perceptive, and poignant essays, readers will gain unique insight into the narratives behind the litany of grim destruction broadcasted nightly on the news, as well as deeper understanding of the conflict as experienced by the people who live in the occupied territories. Together, these stories stand witness to the human cost of the occupation 4aDerechos humanos92210zCisjordania  4aDerechos humanos92210zFranja de Gaza  4aConflicto árabe-israelí y1993- xTerritorios ocupados 932366 4aGuerra árabe-israelí, 1967 xTerritorios ocupados 932367 4aPalestinaxPolítica y gobierno 93485y1948-1 aChabon, Michael, d1963-910233eeditor1 aWaldman, Ayelet, d1964-925257eeditor1 aRothman-Zecher, Moriel 932368eeditor   a0bibccorignewd2encipf20gy-gencatlg  2lcccBK  ilmm  c113627d113627  00102lcc40708RRaBJBbBJBcRRd2019-11-05l0o430 DS 119.76 K54 2017p00000124297r2019-11-05 00:00:00t1w2019-11-05yBK
