As a result it is regarded as a horrific drama played out only between executioner Nazis and ghetto Jewish victims - in short, an aberration of history. This book dissolves this stereotype and places the Holocaust where it belongs - at the centre of modern European and world history. If such an event is not to be repeated, it is crucial to understand that genocide is a constant widespread threat to humanity, as witnessed in Cambodia, former Yugoslavia and Rwanda. The book provides a forthright guide to the horrifying meaning of the Holocaust for readers today.

The connections made in these films to the second Intifada demonstrate that the Nakba is not only a memory of the past but a continuity of pain and trauma reaching from the past into the heart of the present, as well as a continuity of struggle in which the losses of the Nakba fuel the resistance to Israeli occupation and subjugation. The resolution of trauma is the struggle itself, these films strive to tell us. The struggle of Palestinians to liberate their country and rebuild their society has become the iconic struggle of the new millennium – equalling the special place once occupied in the international arena by the Anti-Apartheid campaign.1 This struggle has also become representative of anti-globalisation and opposition to the New American Century project, its implications spreading far beyond the Middle East. The current conflict over control in Iraq, and generally in the Arab world, is seen as being of great symbolic significance in this respect."

While is too early to properly evaluate the process and its various national apparitions, it is important to see it in a historical context. This article places the Arab Spring firmly within the history of pan Arabism, and the threat it posed to the west and Israel in its earlier, Nasserist phase. The work of Amin, Marfleet and others, is used to frame the current developments, and present the limited view offered from an Israeli perspective, where any democratisation of the Arab world is seen as a threat. This is so despite the obvious influence the Arab Spring had on protest in Israel in Summer 1011, a protest which has now seemingly spent itself; it is fascinating to note that the only protest movement in the Middle East not involving violent clashes with the regime it criticised, is also the one which has ...

Published at the height of the process of physical and political separation between Israel and Pa... more Published at the height of the process of physical and political separation between Israel and Palestine, Gil Hochberg's In Spite of Partition joins a large and growing group of publications that address the 1947 partition of Palestine by UN Res. 181 and the resulting permanent conflict that ensued. After six decades of armed conflict and four decades of the illegal occupation of diverse Arab territories (including the whole of Palestine), many are beginning to recognize the improbability of the two-state solution and are turning to other older and more enlightened spaces of desire to search for the potential for a lasting, just solution in Palestine. The number and variety of titles dealing with the one-state solution is dazzling, evidence of the bankruptcy of not just Israel's political elite, but also of the West's. Hochberg's book is an especially welcome addition: it does not so much discuss the solution as it addresses the contours of the imaginative space in which a solution may grow. Further, it traces the history of a different discourse from the one that has dominated the politics of the Middle East for the last few decades. Taking his lead (and his title for the book) from Edward Said, Hochberg is trying to replace " the economy of identity (I versus You, Arab versus Jew) with an economy of relation (I as You, Arab as Jew) " (p. 16). Rather than going back to historical points, such as the Brit Shalom period in the 1920s, Hochberg maps the terrain of the relationships between the disputed identities of Jew and Arab through the close analysis of a number of key literary works written by Jews and Arabs since the Nakba. This is done through chapters discussing each a different stage and aspect of the separation, as well as the relationship between Arab and Jew through the examination of a number of iconic novels by such writers as Albert Memmi and Edmond El Maleh (both North African Jews writing in French), Jacqueline Kahanoff and Ronit Matalon (Egyptian and Israeli Jews respectively), Anton Shammas (a Palestinian writing in Hebrew), and Albert Swissa (an Israeli Jew writing in Hebrew). The range of positions is broad but conceptually well-organized, referencing the important work of Daniel Boyarin, Elie Kedourie, Ella Shohat, Amnon Raz-Krakozkin, Gil Anidjar, Sami Chetrit, Judith Butler, and many others while adding significantly to the debate each of them has addressed. The main issues addressed in the book emerge from each writer's positioning of the central tension between the Arab and Jew as fluid containers of identity. Memmi and El Maleh both express a historical potentiality that they present as " missed " —the ability to exist as an Arab Jew in the Mahgrib. Hochberg notes the difference between Memmi's Haim Bresheeth, professor of media and cultural studies at the University of East London, is co-editor (with Hammami) of
