Palestinian Popular Struggle challenges conventional thinking about
political action and organization. It offers an alternative to the
seemingly failed tracks of armed struggle and diplomatic
negotiations. A discourse of rights and global justice helps bridge
national and religious divides, drawing Jewish Israelis and diverse
supporters from around the world to participate in direct-action
campaigns on the ground in the West Bank. The movement has some
important achievements and continues to offer innovative approaches
to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This book summarizes
Palestinian traditions of popular struggle and presents original
field research from the West Bank, drawing on several months of
participant observation, over twenty-five hours of recorded
interviews with Palestinian activists, and more than 200
questionnaires gaging public perceptions about the strategies of
the popular committees. One of the book's major case studies is the
village of Nabi Saleh, which recently became well known when one of
its activists, a sixteen-year-old girl named Ahed Tamimi, was
imprisoned for slapping Israeli soldiers outside her family home.
The book offers insight into new waves of Palestinian popular
protest, from the 2017 prayer protests in Jerusalem to the 2018
march of return in Gaza. Palestinian Popular Struggle is a valuable
resource for researchers and students interested in War and
Conflict Studies, Politics and the Middle East.

Marriage's central role in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints distinguishes the faith while simultaneously reflecting
widespread American beliefs. But what does Latter-day Saint
marriage mean for men? Holly Welker presents a collection of essays
exploring this question. The essayists provide insight into
challenges involving sexuality, physical and emotional illness,
addiction, loss of faith, infidelity, sexual orientation, and other
topics. Conversational and heartfelt, the writings reveal the
varied experiences of Latter-day Saint marriage against the
backdrop of a society transformed by everything from economic
issues affecting marriage to evolving ideas about gender. An
insightful exploration of the gap between human realities and
engrained ideals, Revising Eternity sheds light on how Latter-day
Saint men view and experience marriage today.
Gentrification is a complex process that historically has created
dividing lines between the haves and have-nots. In urban renewal,
there are clear winners and losers as neighborhoods and districts
become revitalized. On the plus side, there is a reclamation and
preservation of grand historic buildings, homes and edifices
alongside renewed economic vitality. On the negative side,
gentrification means many minorities and lower-income families, who
for years had called the old neighborhood home, are getting pushed
to the urban periphery because they cannot afford to live there
anymore. In light of these competing if not contradictory values,
how should Christians respond? Is there a biblical and theological
foundation on which to build such a response? Vespas, Cafes,
Singlespeed Bikes, and Urban Hipsters takes a look beneath the
surface of this phenomenon to uncover and present a Christian
response to this city-changing movement.
