Now, in a work of calm power and painful clarity, Hass reflects on what she has seen in the Gaza Strips's gutted streets and destitute refugee camps. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eDrinking the Sea at Gaza\u003c\/i\u003e maps the zones of ordinary Palestinian life. From her friends, Hass learns the secrets of slipping across sealed borders and stealing through night streets emptied by curfews. She shares Gaza's early euphoria over the peace process and its subsequent despair as hope gives way to unrelenting hardship. But even as Hass charts the griefs and humiliations of the Palestinians, she offers a remarkable portrait of a people not brutalized but eloquent, spiritually resilient, bleakly funny, and morally courageous. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFull of testimonies and stories, facts and impressions, \u003ci\u003eDrinking the Sea at Gaza\u003c\/i\u003e makes an urgent claim on our humanity. Beautiful, haunting, and profound, it will stand with the great works of wartime reportage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amira Hass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0805057404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780805057409\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martins Press-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/05\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 1.10d","brand":"Amira Hass","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995607138559,"sku":"9780805057409","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_affb4751-65dc-4af1-af55-150b7729aa6f.jpg?v=1683336765","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/drinking-the-sea-at-gaza-amira-hass-9780805057409","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
