On Zionist Literature
Translated into English for the first time after its publication in 1967, Ghassan Kanafani's On Zionist Literature makes an incisive analysis of the body of literary fiction written in support of the Zionist colonization of Palestine. Interweaving his literary criticism of works by George Eliot, Arthur Koestler, and many others with a historical materialist narrative, Kanafani identifies the political intent and ideology of Zionist literature, demonstrating how the myths used to justify the Zionist-imperialist domination of Palestine first emerged and were repeatedly propagated in popular literary works in order to generate support for Zionism and shape the Western public's understanding of it. The new preface by Anni Kanafani and an introduction by Steven Salaita place On Zionist Literature in its broader historical context and make a compelling case for its ongoing significance more than five decades since its original publication, illustrating the extent to which 'Kanafani was a

Alfons Och Soldatpappan
Gunilla Bergströms berättelser speglar det vardagliga livet. Mänskliga beteenden och psykologiska situationer. Men trots realismen finns där något magiskt, mitt i det vardagliga. Gunilla Bergströms nyfikenhet och fascination för människan lyser igenom både text och bild.Med den nya boken Alfons och soldatpappan tar hon upp ett stort och svårt ämne. Upplägget är genialt, så övertygande genomfört att det träffar den vuxne läsaren rakt i magen - och hjärtat. En gissning är att barn kommer att reagera lite mer osentimentalt. Krig kanske inte är så roligt ändå...Nu är Alfons sex år. Hans nya kompis heter Hamdi och är superbra i fotboll. Hamdi har en jättehärlig pappa. Han tränar fotboll med barnen i kvarteret och har byggt en riktig målbur. Hamdis pappa har varit soldat. I ett riktigt krig, i sitt förra land. Alfons och Hamdi leker ofta krig och så ser de ju krig överallt, jämt. På dataspel, film, TV, video. Men hur är riktigt krig egentligen?Hamdis pappa vill inte prata om kriget, det är för ruskigt. Men en dag berättar han något. En gång under ett bombanfall kastade han sig ner på golvet i en husruin. Då fick han se en myra på golvet som hade tvärstannat. Sen händer en sak som gör myran extra betydelsefull ... Det glömmer Hamdis pappa aldrig. Och det gör nog inte Alfons och Hamdi heller när berättelsen slutar.
