SUMMARY:Montreal Book Launch of Gaza: The Dream and the Nightmare
DESCRIPTION:With Julie Norman \n  \nIn this urgent and compelling book\, Julie M. Norman and Maia Carter Hallward tell the story of Gaza from its early foundations\, across decades of occupation\, to the devastation of the ongoing war. Rather than focusing on elites or abstract politics\, at the book’s heart are ordinary Gazans – students\, aid workers\, journalists\, and teachers – whose first-hand testimonies vividly illuminate the realities behind the headlines. \nRefusing to sensationalize or oversimplify\, the book reckons with the legal\, moral\, and humanitarian debates surrounding Gaza\, from war crimes investigations to the contested meaning of resistance and the politicization of aid. Combining a nuanced narrative with hard-hitting reflections from everyday Gazans\, the book serves as a timely and necessary disruption of media cliches and political binaries\, and from the perspectives of its own people. \n  \nJulie Norman is Associate Professor of Politics and International Relations at University College London and Senior Associate Fellow on the Middle East at the Royal United Services Institute. Previously she taught in the Political Science Department at \nConcordia University and served as Co-Director of the Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling. \n  \nREGISTRATION  \nRegister now with this link \nPlease note that all our events are free and open to all\, but registration is mandatory.

McConnell Building (Library Building). \nCOHDS/ALLAB is located on unceded Kanien’kehá:ka territory\, in Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal.
