DESCRIPTION:An Evening with Maxine Kaufman-Lacusta Activist & Author of\n\nRefusing to 
 Be Enemies: Palestinian and Israeli Nonviolent Resistance to the Israeli 
 Occupation\n\nABOUT THE BOOK:\nRefusing to Be Enemies gathers a 
 comprehensive collection of voices from Palestinian and Israeli - 
 Christian, Muslim, and Jewish - nonviolence activists. Through interviews, 
 essays, and contributions from activists, journalists, and academics, 
 Maxine Kaufman-Lacusta explores the strategies, challenges and future of 
 the nonviolence movement and the activists at the heart of this noble 
 cause. Remarkably intimate, insightful and highly readable, the book 
 reveals the widespread nature of this movement and how it is uniting people 
 with diverse beliefs, faiths, and cultures toward ending the Israeli 
 occupation of the Palestinian people.\n\nABOUT THE AUTHOR:\nMaxine 
 Kaufman-Lacusta lived in Jerusalem for seven years and has written widely 
 on Palestinian and Israeli nonviolent activism and related topics.\n\nAFSC 
 work in the Middle East began in 1948. In the aftermath of World War II 
 AFSC gained experience resettling refugees and displaced persons, and was 
 asked by the United Nations to organize relief efforts for Palestinian Arab 
 refugees in the Gaza Strip. This continued until the United Nations Relief 
 Works Agency began operations on May 1, 1950. From its initial engagement 
 with refugees in Gaza, AFSC has been committed to peace-building as well as 
 relief efforts.\n\nMost recently AFSC has responded to US military 
 intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan. AFSC has also worked to promote the 
 continuation of dialogue between the US and Iran.\n\nAFSC's approach is 
 twofold: it works to empower the people directly affected by the conflict. 
 Secondly, AFSC works through its representatives in the Middle East region 
 and in the USA to advocate for policy change based on the Quaker 
 testimonies to peace and equality.\n
