A review of Skyscrapers, Taxis and Tampons Cynthia AndrewsIn one of the last episodes of “Murphy Brown” Candace Bergen is invited to her alma mater to accept an award as one of the foremost feminists of her generation. While there, she attends a “Women’s Studies” class where issues of equal rights-equal pay, birth control and abortion are replaced by an intensity of hatred for the opposite sex that even she could not anticipate or explain. Murphy was humiliated, demeaned and scorned for not understanding that the problems facing the women of today have much more to do with male domination than ever before, and that her hair-do, make-up and Ralph Lauren mini-skirt are symbols of a female bondage that should be replaced with basic black and flats.

The only Israelis this generation of Palestinians know are soldiers and settlers. For them, Israel is no more than a subsidiary of an army that knows no limits and settlements that know no borders. Recipient of the UNESCO Guillermo Camo World Press Freedom Prize in 2003, Amira Hass is the only Jewish Israeli correspondent on Palestinian affairs to live among the people about whom she reports.

Reviews “Reporting from Ramallah is frontline stuff, powerful in the accumulation of daily detail.” – Iain Finlayson, The Times Weekend Review “Stark, simple analysis underpinned by exemplary interviews and a fine historical and moral sense.” – Mark Mazower, New Statesman “Readers interested in understanding this conflict will appreciate Hass’ honesty and insight.” – Vanessa Bush, Booklist Endorsements “The Palestinians need a sovereign Palestinian state.
