The collaborative effort of Haim Gordon, Rivca Gordon, and Taher Shriteh, Beyond Intifada: Narratives Of Freedom Fighters In The Gaza Strip showcases the personal testimonies of six Palestinians (four men and two women), who tell of the conflicts of the Gaza Strip that began with the 1993 peace process, and continue down to the present day. A deeply personal and emotionally moving account that lends human faces to the strife and turmoil that have been ongoing within the Holy Land, Beyond Intifada is a welcome contribution to International Studies collections with respect to the Palestinian/Israeli ethnic, political, cultural, and national disputes.

This text covers key themes in existential thought; be they literary, philosophical, theological, or psychological. Entries included are: aesthetics, freedom, being, community, death, epistemology, anxiety, relation, religion, object, metaphysics, and dozens of others. There are also entries on key existential figures such as: Kierkegaard, Marcel, Tillich, Arendt, Buber, Sartre, Camus, Ingarden, Bultmann, Dostoyevsky and many more.
