Produktbeschreibung

Part Two of 'Jerusalem 1977-2027 ... The Trilogy. Quest for a Just Peace' chronicles a year of exploring and working in Israel, Palestine, and the Sinai - with Jerusalem the axis. The story centres on meeting local inhabitants and visiting extraordinary environments. These interactions celebrate the characters' lives and convictions, and pivots on the prospects for peace and understanding from the peoples prevailing upon that land.

Travels and work ensue via: kibbutz living; northern Israel and the Lebanon and Syria borders; the West Bank/Occupied Palestine; Eilat verve; the mystical/improbable/expansive magnificence of the mighty Sinai; the Dead Sea region and Hebron - of course returning often to Jerusalem, The Eternal City.

Stalwart characters share the dynamics and the issues of: displacement; political-national dispossession and conflict; Palestinian nationhood and resistance; the historic visit of Egyptian President Sadat; the emergence of Peace Now; cross cultural-political interests - and of Jerusalem, The City of Peace, with defiance and hope.

Autorenporträt

'Worlds Collude - Escape Tales from Surf City to Sidi Ifni' is the 2nd of a trilogy. The first book is 'A Personal and Political Journey Through Beirut, April/May, 1977'. The 3rd book currently in progress is titled 'Jerusalem 1977-2027. Quest For A Just Peace'. All these works stem from years of studying, travelling, working, and living in the Middle East and North Africa.

In my career in Social Work I wrote formal research, and about citizen's resilience, and of the need for egalitarian systemic response to peoples' socio-economic struggles.

My professional Social Work writing, as well as my primary life duty as full-time father, took all my time and energies. I do not communicate or promote on social media. My life has not followed the usual 'grid'.
