HAMAS: FROM RESISTANCE TO GOVERNMENT

Book ID/图书代码： 01742010B41858

English Summary/英文概要： The Palestinian elections of 2006 changed modern Middle East history—as well as changing the perception of the Israel/Palestine conflict around the world. How, Westerners asked, could a secular people elect a radical Islamist group, one that openly advocated violence against the Israeli government and its people, to lead them? How could ordinary Palestinians support the violent resistance their newly-elected government had dedicated itself to? How could a "failure of democracy" on this level be explained?

Italian journalist Paola Caridi’s Hamas: From Resistance to Government addresses the question, breaking with the tradition of sensationalist journalism about the elections, and choosing instead to take a clear-eyed look at the controversial government of Palestine, a look informed by years of on-the-ground research and interviews from the residents of Gaza themselves. Covering the history of the region from its “golden age” as a port city in the fifth century A.D. through the formal birth of Hamas as a resistance movement after the first Intifada, and continuing past Operation Cast Lead into the present day, Caridi’s Hamas traces, with nuance and clarity, the rise, growth, and evolution of Hamas into one of the key players in the search for a way through the central crisis of the Middle East today. In so doing, she performs, with intelligence, dexterity, and heart, the central function of history: to look at a people’s actions through that people’s eyes, to explain what to many Americans seems inexplicable—to explain the rise of Hamas.
