Description
Deborah Campbell was a Canadian student in Tel Aviv during the Gulf War. A decade later, she returned to the region, seeking insights into one of the world's most intractable conflicts. This Heated Place skillfully combines elements of political reporting, travel writing and personal observation. In this account of her journey, Campbell creates an unforgettable portrait of the people -- Arab and Jew alike -- caught up in this complex and bloody struggle.
Editorial Reviews
"Heralding an ever-increasing awakening in the West, Deborah Campbell breaks through the walls of her indoctrination about the situation in the Middle East, showing courage and morality as she unravels distortions and manufactured images. She stands on the side of humanity in this captivating eyewitness account."
— Hanna Kawas, Chair, Canada Palestine Association
"This colourful and nuanced snapshot fo the Middle East conflict is wonderfully readable, even for veteran peace activists like me. Complex issues and feelings are captured through conversations with the protagonists on all sides. An excellent study of our predicament, poignantly written."
— Gilva Svirsky, co-founder of Coalition of Women for a Just Peace
