I sin bok "Strövtåg i Palestina" berättar han om sina fotvandringar bland de palestinska kullarna, om glädjen i att upptäcka landskapets skönhet och sorgen i att se hur det förfulas och förstörs i takt med att rörelseutrymmet blir allt mer begränsat.

‘It’s a hip-hop bible’ Ghostface Killah, Wutang Clan In Hip Hop Raised Me.® , DJ Semtex examines the crucial role of hip-hop in society today, and reflects on the huge influence it has had on his own life, and the lives of many others, filling in the gaps of education that school left behind, providing inspiration and purpose to generation after generation of disaffected youths. Taking a thematic approach and featuring seminal interviews he has conducted with key hip-hop artists, Semtex traces the characteristics and influence of hip-hop from its origins in the early 1970s with DJ Kool Herc’s Block parties in the South Bronx, through its breakthrough to the mainstream and advent of gangsta rap in the late 1980s, with artists such as Run DMC, Public Enemy and Ice T, to the impact of contemporary artists and the global industry that is hip-hop today. Hip-hop artists have gone from hustlers to successful entrepreneurs and businessmen. Hip-hop has come of age.

Bringing together writers from all corners of the globe, it aims to help Palestinians break the cultural siege imposed by the Israeli military occupation, to strengthen their artistic links with the rest of the world, and to reaffirm, in the words of Edward Said, ‘the power of culture over the culture of power’.Celebrating the tenth anniversary of PalFest, This Is Not a Border is a collection of essays, poems and stories from some of the world’s most distinguished artists, responding to their experiences at this unique festival.

Not only this year but for as long as it is necessary' - Philip Pullman

I Beirut hoppas Nicolas hitta sanningen om sin familj, den som hans mamma Nadia undanhållit. Han möter Pierre, mannen som var med när de flydde till Sverige. Han som nästan var som en morbror till Nicolas. Under ett par intensiva dagar turas de om att försöka minnas. Men minnet är bedrägligt. Det som Nicolas hoppas ska vara nyckeln till det förflutna öppnar upp nya låsta rum.Vem är egentligen Pierre? Varför lämnade han Malmö? Varför duckar han för Nicolas frågor? Och varför vill Nicolas inte höra vad Pierre har att berätta?I Beirut försöker Nicolas förstå dels hur han har blivit den han är, dels vad Pierre, Nadia och den pappa han aldrig träffat har betytt. Mötet med Pierre väcker också oväntade minnen till liv. Nicolas kastas tillbaka till barndomen, till Kontinentalbanan, järnvägsspåren som leder från Malmö ut i världen. Platsen där hans barndomsvänner för sista gången skingrades.Med stor närvaro och övertygande komplexitet skildrar Raja Bahari i Kontinentalbanan hur svårt det kan vara att försöka förstå sig själv, sin bakgrund, identitet, och att skillnaden mellan sanning och lögn kan vara knivskarp och helt osynlig på en och samma gång.

”Varför fruktar Israel Palestina?” är en koncis analys av hur det kom sig att Osloavtalet aldrig resulterade i en oberoende palestinsk stat. Förhoppningarna om en varaktig fred är nu kanske svagare än någonsin. Men alternativet till att leva fredligt sida vid sida med en helt självständig palestinsk stat är att Israel förvandlas till en öppet fascistisk och rasistisk stat.

FROM THE ORWELL PRIZE-WINNER AND NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALISTA TLS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024 'Palestine's greatest prose writer' Observer'A valuable read. As well as talking through the history, Shehadeh is reaching out to Israelis and searching for some kind of dialogue' Armando Iannucci When the state of Israel was formed in 1948, it precipitated the Nakba or 'disaster': the displacement of the Palestine nation, creating fracture-lines which continue to erupt in violent and tragic ways today.In the years that followed, while the Berlin Wall crumbled and South Africa abolished apartheid, the Israeli government rejected every opportunity for reconciliation with Palestine. But Raja Shehadeh, a human rights lawyer and Palestine's greatest living writer, suggests that this does not mean the two nations cannot work together as partners on the road to peace, not genocide.In graceful, devastatingly observed prose, this is a fresh perspective in a time of great need.'Powerful' New Statesman'A buoy in the sea of bleakness' Rachel Kushner, author of Creation Lake'Shehadeh is a great inquiring spirit with a tone that is vivid, ironic, melancholy and wise' Colm Toibin, author of The Magician

A moving account of one man’s border crossings—both literal and figurative—by the award-winning author of Palestinian Walks, published on the fiftieth anniversary of the June 1967 War
In what has become a classic of Middle Eastern literature, Raja Shehadeh, in Palestinian Walks, wrote of his treks through the hills surrounding Ramallah over a period of three decades under Israel’s military occupation.
In Where the Line Is Drawn, Shehadeh explores how occupation has affected him personally, chronicling the various crossings that he undertook into Israel over a period of forty years to visit friends and family, to enjoy the sea, to argue before the Israeli courts, and to negotiate failed peace agreements.
Those forty years also saw him develop a close friendship with Henry, a Canadian Jew who immigrated to Israel at around the same time Shehadeh returned to Palestine from studying in London. While offering an unforgettably poignant exploration of Palestinian-Israeli relationships, Where the Line Is Drawn also provides an anatomy of friendship and an exploration of whether, in the bleakest of circumstances, it is possible for bonds to transcend political divisions.

Neuroergnomics can be defined as the study of brain and behavior at work. It combines two disciplines -- neuroscience, the study of brain function, and human factors, the study of how to match technology with the capabilities and limitations of people so they can work effectively and safely. The goal of merging these two fields is to use the startling discoveries of human brain and physiological functioning both to inform the design of technologies in the workplace and home, and to provide new training methods that enhance performance, expand capabilites, and optimize the fit between people and technology. Research in the area of neuroergonomics has blossomed in recent years with the emergence of noninvasive techniques for monitoring human brain function that can be used to study various aspects of human behavior in relation to technology and work, including mental workload, visual attention, working memory, motor control, human-automation interaction, and adaptive automation. The proposed volume will provide the first systematic overview of this emerging area, describing the theoretical background, basic research, major methods, as well as the new and future areas of application. This collection will benefit a number of readers: the experienced researcher investigating related questions in human facotrs and cognitive neuroscience, the student wishing to get a rapid but systematic overview of the field, and the designer interested in novel approaches and new ideas for application. Researchers in human factors and ergonomics, neuroscience, cognitive psychology, medicine, industrial engineering, and computer science will find this volume useful.

Palmyra has long attracted the attention of the world. Well before its rediscovery in the seventeenth century, the ancient city gained legendary status because of its Queen Zenobia, who in the third century CE rebelled against Rome and expanded Palmyra's territory into what is now modern Turkey and Egypt. Even though Zenobia's empire was a fairly short interlude and the Romans struck back hard, devastating the city, her path to imperial power was one which tells us much about Palmyrene identity in the period before the defeat. While Zenobia has gained renewed interest among both scholars and the press, and while she has served as a political symbol for Syria's president Assad--a statue of her was recently erected in Damascus--the time leading up to her reign still remains underexplored.Pearl of the Desert is the most comprehensive history of this fabled ancient city in English. Assimilating the rich archaeological and literary evidence, Rubina Raja unfolds the story chronologically, from the earliest evidence of settlement in the Bronze Age to Palmyra's rise as an urban center in the late Hellenistic and Roman periods, its destruction by Rome in 273 CE, and its survival in the Byzantine and medieval Islamic periods. The book ends with a discussion of Palmyra's modern rediscovery and, more recently, its chaotic misfortunes during the Syrian civil war when it was used as a symbol of, alternately, the resistance of the rebels, the power of ISIS, and the supremacy of the Syrian state. After several years of destruction and looting, securing of the site has begun as well as planning for its restoration. At this turning point in Palmyra's long history, there is no better time to assess the past, present, and future of this remarkable city.
