Challenge Books
Menguak Hubungan Dagang Indonesia-Israel
Angga Aulia Akbar
This book is about the conflict between the economic relations versus the diplomatic relations between Israel and Indonesia. I can't seem to find this one in English, but if you speak Indonesian, go crazy.
Una tierra con gente: Voces de Palestina
Sonia Bajona Casas, Sofía Caamaño Deus
I can't find an English translation of this one either, but here is its description in English:
“A land without people for a people without a land” is one of the most cited phrases in Zionist literature. With it, Israel justified many of the actions it carried out over the last century on the human beings that this slogan makes invisible. Palestine was not a desert, but was inhabited by millions of people who were killed, forcibly displaced and forced to live in inhumane conditions for decades. These pages collect the stories of some of them. The twelve stories that make up this book are a window into the refugee camps, Palestinian cities, prisons, resistance movements and the internal world of those who experience the Israeli occupation firsthand.
