From Brooklyn To Balata:
First Hand Reports and Thoughts From Palestinian Solidarity Activists
Sean Sullivan, et al
pam
No ISBN, $4.00
This is a work of brilliance, that demands to be read. And discussed. Read again. Then acted upon. Herein you'll find first hand accounts of life in occupied Palestine from four NY Solidarity activists. All of their reports are incisive, well-written, eloquent, and illuminating. There are, fortunately, many such accounts, by Westerners and the Palestinians themselves. What makes this thick pamphlet particularly useful is the second half. There are two responses to the report-backs from New York State prisoners - very much bringing the war, and racism back home to America. And perhaps best of all, a lengthy afterword/essay, discussing the role of (largely) white activists in the Middle East, the structure, tactics and effectiveness of the International Solidarity Movement, why solidarity work (both in Palestine and here, at home) is vital, and how such work might be most effective. Some of the best writing to be found anywhere on the conflict, and what we might be doing about it. Really, really good.
