Imprisoned at the age of 14, he began a process of political and spiritual transformation still unfolding today. In a book he asked Penina Eilberg-Schwartz, an American Jew, to write, and based on years of conversation between them, Khatib shares how his activism became deeply rooted in the belief that we must ground all work--from dialogue to direct action to healing--in recognition of the history and humanity of the other. He reveals how he became convinced that Palestinian freedom can flourish alongside Jewish connection to the land where he was born. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn language that is poetic and unflinchingly honest, Eilberg-Schwartz and Khatib chronicle what led him to dedicate his life to joint nonviolence. In his journey, he encountered the deep injustice of torture, witnessed the power of hunger strikes, and studied Jewish history. Ultimately, he came to realize mutual recognition, alongside a transformation of the systems that governed their lives, was necessary for both Palestinians and Israelis to move forward. Still, as he built friendships with Israelis and resisted the occupation alongside them, he could not lose sight of the great power imbalance in the relationship, of all the violence and erasure still present as they dreamt forward together. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIntimate and political, \u003ci\u003eIn This Place Together\u003c\/i\u003e opens us up to the dangers and hopes of working with others across vast differences in power and experience. And it opens a new space, shapes a third narrative, and finds another world that can exist--though it's often hard to see--inside this one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Penina Eilberg-Schwartz, Sulaiman Khatib\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807046825\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807046821\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Beacon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/13\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/26\/2021 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2021 pg. 28","brand":"Penina Eilberg-Schwartz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44049655890175,"sku":"9780807046821","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_279f69ea-a2b7-4ac7-a886-b83545eaaa7d.jpg?v=1685002758","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-this-place-together-penina-eilberg-schwartz-9780807046821","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
