Here is an excellent companion for those who might feel lost sometimes in the ‘heavy seas’ of everyday life.
AN IMPORTANT COLONIAL EXPOSE. This book asserts that the dominant Israeli narrative prevail-ant in the world today - and since 1948- has obscured the fundamental problem facing Palestinians huddled into their occupied territories. The problem, now of deepening international concern, is that of a Zionist settler colonialism aided primarily by the Western democracies. This host dissects a frequent asked questions and explores a web of myths and fabrications spun by Zionists over many decades. The tone is calm and factual, and the conclusion sufficiently disturbing to raise a final question: How much longer can the Palestinian problem remain intractable?
This is an important must-read book. This novel is about a natural disaster and human corruption and mixes fact with fiction. The framework is about a family escaping the mammoth floods that swept across the northern provinces of South Africa in the year 2000. Within this action-packed framework, the deeper intent of the book soon becomes apparent. The message is in the characters.
Theodor, the eighty-five year old protagonist in this engaging short novel, writes of his early years in Johannesburg in the 1930s and 1940s.
The story begins as he remembers how his journey began. It ends with his arrival in the fledgling Israeli state to serve his ancient homeland as a soldier-farmer on an outlying kibbutz. But the main focus is reserved for the often funny and always ironic accounts of the childhood and youth of an intelligent Jewish boy growing up in a dusty mining town in Africa.
