The Wandering Who
An investigation of Jewish identity politics and Jewish contemporary ideology using both popular culture and scholarly texts. Jewish identity is tied up with some of the most difficult and contentious issues of today. The purpose in this book is to open many of these issues up for discussion. Since Israel defines itself openly as the ‘Jewish State’, we should ask what the notions of ’Judaism’, ‘Jewishness’, ‘Jewish culture’ and ‘Jewish ideology’ stand for. Gilad examines the tribal aspects embedded in Jewish secular discourse, both Zionist and anti Zionist; the ‘holocaust religion’; the meaning of ‘history’ and ‘time’ within the Jewish political discourse; the anti-Gentile ideologies entangled within different forms of secular Jewish political discourse and even within the Jewish left. He questions what it is that leads Diaspora Jews to identify themselves with Israel and affiliate with its politics. The devastating state of our world affairs raises an immediate demand for a conceptual shift in our intellectual and philosophical attitude towards politics, identity politics and history.
The Opposite of Noise
In the age of too much data and too few breakthroughs, market "noise" is the biggest challenge for executives and managers. Finding growth opportunities requires a powerful filter. This filter is competitive intelligence- market insight that cuts through the din and propels companies to leap forward ahead of all others. It has little to do with more information on competitors. It has everything to do with making every market-facing manager more competitively skilled. In his characteristic blunt and entertaining style, the international expert and CEO of the Academy of Competitive Intelligence provides tools, tips, eye-opening case studies, and a new model to break through "data-driven" hype and change how management looks at competitive intelligence.
The Negotiator
The Negotiator is the remarkable story of Gershon Baskin, an American-Israeli peace activist who made it his mission to liberate Gilad Schalit. Acting on his own initiative and in no formal capacity, Baskin drew on his ties to Hamas to create a secret back channel between the two sides. Through behind-the-scenes negotiations and clandestine meetings, nightly e-mails and frantic text messages, a great deal of persistence and no small amount of hutzpa, he succeeded where official mediators had failed, paving the way for the deal that ¿ ultimately ¿ brought Gilad home.

In the four decades since, the diaspora has expanded to include not only those who emigrated immediately after the revolution but also their American-born children, more recent immigrants, and people who married into Iranian families, all of whom carry their own stories of trauma, triumph, adversity, and belonging that reflect varied and nuanced perspectives on what it means to be Iranian or Iranian American. The essays in My Shadow Is My Skin are these stories. This collection brings together thirty-two authors, both established and emerging, whose writing capture...
