In the final weeks of 1987, the Gaza Strip became the major
battleground of what is considered one of the few authentic
national rebellions of the second half of the 20th century.
Although the story of the Intifada in the Gaza Strip, with its
tragic and inspiring outcomes, is slowly fading from the world's
collective memory, the repercussions have ongoing impact on today's
peace process. Beyond Intifada presents the captivating personal
stories of six Palestinians, adding a rich, human dimension to the
news events that the Western media has only partially explored.
Helping to put their stories in perspective, the book provides a
brief history of the Israel-Palestine conflict, as well as an
overview of the Intifada itself. As the conflict in the Middle East
continues, the personal stories in Beyond Intifada provide an
remarkable glimpse beyond the politics into the lives of
Palestinian people.
This book presents the personal narratives of six
Palestinians—four men and two women—whose stories are central
to describing the greater Palestinian plight in the Gaza Strip, the
Intifada, the beginning of the 1993 peace process, and beyond. Each
Palestinian has related crucial events in his or her life story,
and by reading their accounts, we come to see the struggle through
their eyes and put a human face on events that Western media and
consciousness have only partially explored. The story of the
