Can two people exist under two different flags - when just the sight of those flags incites rage? What will it take? Jonathan Kuttab, a Palestinian Human Rights lawyer and Christian pacifist-believes there is a way. In this moving, harrowing memoir, he takes us on a personal journey from anger and thoughts of violence to his deep commitment to unrelenting peaceful activism.

In his memoirs, Professor Hani Q. Khoury narrates the highlights of the complexities of his life and the events which have nurtured it. He was sentenced to an electric wheelchair at the age of 18 due to a progressive physical disorder. His story, like many others, is filled with challenges, setbacks, dreams, and, most importantly, hope. The juxtaposition of two very different cultural settings, Israeli-occupied Palestine, and the United States of America, will provide the reader with a deeper understanding of the meaning and implications of liberty and self-determination, both individually and collectively.

Palestinian Rituals of Identity takes an innovative approach to the study of Palestine's modern history by focusing on the Prophet Moses festival from the late Ottoman period through the era of British rule. Halabi explores how the festival served as an arena of competing discourses, with various social groups attempting to control its symbols. Tackling questions about modernity, colonialism, gender relations, and identity, Halabi recounts how peasants, Bedouins, rural women, and Sufis sought to influence the festival even as Ottoman authorities, British colonists, Muslim clerics, and Palestinian national leaders did the same.

Beyond the Two-State Solution is a short introduction to the ongoing crisis in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Zionism and Palestinian Nationalism have been at loggerheads for over a century. Some thought the two-state solution would resolve the conflict between them. Kuttab explains that the two-state solution (that he supported) is no longer viable. He suggests that any solution be predicated on the basic existential needs of the two parties, needs he lays out in exceptional detail.

Palestine Is Our Home contains the memories of Palestinians who have suffered loss of home, community, and country at the hands of a people who themselves have suffered greatly. The suffering and loss experienced by the Palestinians, which they call Al Nakba, continues to today and is aided by countries of the West. In spite of a brutal military occupation of their country, Palestinians have kept their identity as Palestinians and through perseverance have kept their culture vibrant and alive.

In light of the current heightened political situation between Palestine and Israel, my memoir, "Living Through the Nakba: Tales of a Palestinian Youth" provides a relatable background that explains the terror that caused Palestinians to flee their homes in 1948 and the creation of the state of Israel.

I was present at former Egyptian President Nasser's historic speech announcing the nationalization of the Suez Canal (featured in my memoir and on an episode of "The Crown"). I have been interviewed by NPR.

This book is comprised of two distinct parts that take the reader on a journey from pre-British Mandate Palestine to modern day Palestine. Part I is a narrative memoir of the author's mother, Huda Awad, whose life was a microcosm of the ups and downs of the political drama playing out in Palestine. Huda's courage, resilience and Christian faith were an inspiration to her seven children who watched her overcome personal and national tragedy after the death of her husband in 1948. Part II is a historical account of the Arab-Israeli conflict from the perspective of the author, a Palestinian Christian clergyman.
