Description: Routine Emergency by Julia Chaitin, Sharon Steinberg, Elad Avlagon, Shoshana Steinberg This book explores the meaning of life for Israelis from communities bordering the Gaza Strip, whose lives are bound to the intractable conflict between Israel and the Hamas regime. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book explores the meaning of life for Israelis from communities bordering the Gaza Strip, whose lives are bound to the intractable conflict between Israel and the Hamas regime. Based on a psychosocial qualitative study of narrative interviews, photographs, YouTube videos, and Facebook posts created by residents, the book presents the life stories of ordinary people, their perspectives of patriotism and Zionism, and their perceptions of the Gazan Palestinians. Routine Emergency captures these perspectives through analyses of residents interviews and photographs, the social media materials and poems fashioned from interviewees words. The results challenge simplistic notions of what it means to live in this warzone, offering a multi-layered analysis of life in this region, which alternates between being Heaven and Hell. Written in a reader-friendly format, Routine Emergency, offers new theoretical insights into societal beliefs connected to living in an intractable warzone on the personal, family, community and national levels. Back Cover "...this book provides a richly textured canvas on the complex negotiations of people caught between security needs and justice values, including their love for and criticism of their country.
