DESCRIPTION:Book Reading with  Author/Activist CHIVVIS MOORE & her memoir:\n\nFirst Tie 
 Your Camel, Then Trust in God: \nAn American Feminist in the Arab 
 World\n\nTuesday, September 27, 7pm\n360 42nd Street, 
 Oakland\n\nFREE!\n\nWhat begins as a trip to meet Hassan Fathy - Egyptian 
 author of the influential Architecture for the Poor - becomes a 16-year 
 odyssey, one that stretches from working in a master carpenter's shop in 
 Egypt to teaching English in Palestine. Offering a portrait of a land and a 
 people not found in headlines or sound bytes, Chivvis' book humanizes the 
 misunderstandings and tragedies that arise when we fail to appreciate the 
 humanity at the core of us all.\n\n"I have been reading your beautiful, 
 sad, and deeply moving story. This is an important memoir that...evokes 
 tears and laughter, with a great sense of compassion and empathy."\n-Alan 
 Rinzler, former editor, Simon & Schuster\n\n"I cried all the way through 
 it. The tone, the genuine and honest description of reactions and feelings 
 about the experiences, enabled me to truly understand for the first time 
 why, as a Palestinian living in the West Bank, I always feel so upset and 
 physically ill."\n- Muna Giacaman,  Bir Zeit University, West 
 Bank\n\n"Chivvis takes us on a journey that is fascinating, eye-opening, 
 and ultimately heart-breaking - initially  working in a 1970's community in 
 Cairo to life in occupied Palestine, before and after the 2nd 
 intifada...She leads from the heart, earning hard-won respect from 
 Palestinian neighbors, students, colleagues. Honest, unassuming and 
 vulnerable, she asks the hard questions."\n- Penny Rosenwasser,  author, 
 Hope into Practice, Jewish women choosing justice despite our 
 fears\n\nChivvis Moore lived 16 years in the Arab world, including 11 years 
 in the West Bank. She has earned her living as a journalist, 
 carpenter/general building contractor, editor and teacher.\n\nWheelchair 
 accessible\n\nFree!\n
