Una escritora encuentra por casualidad por las calles de Ammán al personaje de la novela que está escribiendo, y desde entonces la búsqueda obsesiva de la autora por su personaje y la relación entre ambas, a través de la escritura de la novela, permiten atisbar al lector tanto la vida cotidiana de una mujer a la búsqueda de su libertad personal como al enfrentamiento de ambas con una sociedad opresiva. X, la incógnita de todo problema matemático, sufre desde su infancia las reglas que le impone una posición subalterna en su propia familia, donde debe aceptar desde la imposición del hiyab hasta el cuidado de sus padres enfermos, mientras sus hermanos varones siguen con sus vidas. Ese sometimiento afecta desde sus estudios hasta su desenvolvimiento en la vida pública, hasta que una serie de hechos la conducen a enfrentarse de una manera cada vez más aguda con la sociedad que la rodea.

Summer with the Enemy
SHORTLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL PRIZE FOR ARABIC FICTION AN INTERGENERATIONAL TALE OF LIFE AND LOVE SEEN THROUGH THE EYES OF THREE WOMEN FROM RAQQA The western popular imagination about the now devastated city of Raqqa, Syria is filled with static and clichéd images of the Arab world. On the news, Raqqa looks like a dusty and abandoned desert village overrun by ISIS and other brands of Islamic fundamentalists, making its desperate, impoverished people yearn to flee at all costs. In the Arab popular imagination, the image of Raqqa is not much different--this ancient city, nestled along the Euphrates river in northeastern Syria, is typically thought of by Arabs as a remote Bedouin outpost, ...
From the River to the Sea
From the River to the Sea: Palestine and Israel in the Shadow of ‘Peace’ provides original analyses of how different coping strategies were developed as well as new forms of political expression, interaction, and mobilization since the 1993 peace deal between the Palestine Liberation Organization and Israel. Its premise is that an historical realism is essential in order to develop a route out of the post-Oslo impasse that extended and solidified the power imbalance under the auspices of ‘peace’. The book includes chapters from experts across the disciplines of anthropology, economics, law, political science and sociology to map out and critically assess the impacts and responses to this ‘peace’ in different geographical and political settings. These innovative analyses also investigate processes that might enable a future to be built based on greater equality and an end to the oppression and violence that currently exists between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea (and beyond).
Scattered Crumbs
Set in an Iraqi village during the Iran-Iraq war, Scattered Crumbs critiques a totalitarian dictatorship through the stories of an impoverished peasant family. A father, a fierce supporter of Saddam Hussein - here called only the Leader - clashes with his artist son, who loves his homeland but finds himself literally unable to paint the Leader's portrait for his father's wall. The novel evokes the deterioration both of the country and of the individual characters caught up in the maelstrom. Scattered Crumbs was first published in Arabic in Cairo in 2000. This translation captures the subtle sarcasm of the original text and its elliptical rhythms.

Palestine Ltd.
Since the 1993 Oslo Accords, the Occupied Palestinian Territory has been the subject of extensive international peacebuilding and statebuilding efforts coordinated by Western donor states and international finance institutions. Despite their failure to yield peace or Palestinian statehood, the role of these organisations in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is generally overlooked owing to their depiction as tertiary actors engaged in technical missions. In Palestine Ltd., Toufic Haddad explores how neoliberal frameworks have shaped and informed the common understandings of international, Israeli and Palestinian interactions throughout the Oslo peace process. Drawing upon more than 20 years o...
