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 is a Quaker-Jewish activist who lived in Jerusalem for 
 seven years (1988-95), during which time she participated in a variety of 
 anti-occupation and solidarity groups, and took a particular interest in 
 the practice and promotion of active nonviolence and joint 
 Israeli-Palestinian endeavors. One of the founding members of the Action 
 Committee for the Jahalin Tribe (ACJT) and a participant in the Hebron 
 Solidarity Committee, Maxine was also part of a small collective that 
 offered nonviolence training workshops during the early and mid-nineties 
 attended by both Jewish and Druze activists in Israel, as well as one for 
 the ACJT and other interested Jahalin. She is currently a member of 
 Vancouver Women in Black, as well as the Vancouver branch of Independent 
 Jewish Voices-Canada. \n\nAFSC work in the Middle East began in 1948.  From 
 its initial engagement with refugees in Gaza, AFSC has been committed to 
 peace-building as well as relief efforts.\n
