WINNER OF PALESTINE BOOK AWARDS 2017 Hamas is designated a
terrorist organization by Israel, the EU, the USA and the UN. It
has made itself notorious for its violent radicalism and
uncompromising rejection of the Jewish state. After its infamous
victory in the 2006 elections the world was watching to see how
Hamas would govern. Could an Islamist group without any experience
of power - and with an unwavering ideology - manage to deal with
day-to-day realities on the ground? Bjorn Brenner investigates here
what happened after the elections and puts the spotlight on the
people over whom Hamas rules, rather than on its ideas. Lodging
with Palestinian families and experiencing their daily encounters
with Hamas, he offers an intimate perspective of the group as seen
through local eyes. The book is based on hard-to-secure interviews
with a wide range of key political and security figures in the
Hamas administration, as well as with military commanders and
members of the feared Qassam Brigades. Brenner also sought out
those that Hamas identifies as local trouble makers: the extreme
Salafi-Jihadis and members of the now more quiescent mainstream
Fatah party led by Mahmoud Abbas. Updated for a new paperback
edition, the book now covers events since 2016 and reflects on what
the future holds for Hamas. The book includes a foreword by Shaul
Mishal and an epilogue by Benedetta Berti, and discusses Hamas's
newly published and more moderate Charter, the impact of the US
peace plan, and suggests how we can understand the relationship
between Hamas and democracy today since no new elections have taken
place.
