Squaring the Circle: Mahatma Gandhi and the Jewish National Home
by P. R. KumaraswamyThe centrality of the book is Gandhi's disposition and orientation towards the idea of Jewish homeland. When it comes to Jews, Jewish nationalism and their aspirations in Palestine, even Mahatma Gandhi was not infallible. His abiding empathy for the Jews was negated by his limited understanding of Judaism and Jewish history. His perception of the Palestine issue and his support for the Arabs was rooted in the domestic Indian context. The conventional understanding that Gandhi was ‘consistently’ opposed to Zionism and the Jewish aspirations for a national home in Palestine does not correspond with his later remarks. While demanding Jewish non-violence both against Hitler and in Palestine, Mahatma was prepared to understand, the ‘excesses’ of the Arabs who were facing ‘overwhelming odds.’ His position on the domestic situation largely influenced his stand viz-à-viz Palestine and hence his demand for Jews to abandon their collaboration with imperialism and follow the path of negotiation should be read within the Indian context. So long as India pursued a recognition-without-relations policy toward Israel, one could rest on Gandhi’s shoulders and adopt a self-righteous attitude. However, can one rely on the Gandhian paradigm to explain India’s new-found bonhomie toward Israel without sounding selective, hypocritical or both? The primary focus of this book is the explication of political constraints and oversensitivity towards the religious minority for political gains, which shaped Gandhi's notion about the Jewish homeland. The author has conducted an empirical survey of the political, religious and strategic constraints behind Gandhi's idea of the Jewish homeland that in common parlance is seen as an ardent disapproval of Zionism by Gandhi.

Squirrel Hill: The Tree of Life Synagogue Shooting and the Soul of a Neighborhood
by Mark OppenheimerA piercing portrait of the struggles and triumphs of one of America's renowned Jewish neighborhoods in the wake of unspeakable tragedy that highlights the hopes, fears, and tensions all Americans must confront on the road to healing.Squirrel Hill, Pittsburgh, is one of the oldest Jewish neighborhoods in the country, known for its tight-knit community and the profusion of multigenerational families. On October 27, 2018, a gunman killed eleven Jews who were worshipping at the Tree of Life synagogue in Squirrel Hill--the most deadly anti-Semitic attack in American history. Many neighborhoods would be understandably subsumed by despair and recrimination after such an event, but not this one. Mark Oppenheimer poignantly shifts the focus away from the criminal and his crime, and instead presents the historic, spirited community at the center of this heartbreak. He speaks with residents and nonresidents, Jews and gentiles, survivors and witnesses, teenagers and seniors, activists and historians. Together, these stories provide a kaleidoscopic and nuanced account of collective grief, love, support, and revival. But Oppenheimer also details the difficult dialogue and messy confrontations that Squirrel Hill had to face in the process of healing, and that are a necessary part of true growth and understanding in any community. He has reverently captured the vibrancy and caring that still characterize Squirrel Hill, and it is this phenomenal resilience that can provide inspiration to any place burdened with discrimination and hate.
Sra. Lewis: La improbable historia de amor entre Joy Davidman y C. S. Lewis
by Patti CallahanEn una amistad muy improbable, ella encontró el amor. En un mundo donde las mujeres fueron silenciadas, ella encontró su voz. En un Dios más allá de su religión familiar, ella encontró la fe.De la autora de éxitos en ventas del New York Times, Patti Callahan, llega una exquisita novela sobre Joy Davidman, la mujer a la que C.S. Lewis llamó “mi mundo entero”. Cuando la poeta y escritora Joy Davidman comenzó a escribirle cartas a C.S. Lewis –conocido como Jack– ella buscaba respuestas espirituales, no amor. Después de todo, el amor no lograba mantener unido a su desmoronado matrimonio. Todo acerca de la neoyorkina Joy parecía estar mal para el catedrático de Oxford y amado escritor de Narnia, pero sus mentes se fueron amalgamando en sus cartas. Embarcándose en la aventura de su vida, Joy viajó de Estados Unidos a Inglaterra y luego regresó, enfrentando angustia y pobreza, descubriendo la amistad y la fe, y contra todo pronóstico, encontrando un amor que aun la amenaza de la muerte no podía destruir.En esta exploración magistral de una de las mejores historias de amor de los tiempos modernos, nos encontramos con una brillante escritora, una madre ferozmente independiente y una mujer apasionada que cambió la vida de este respetado autor e inspiró libros que todavía nos encantan y cambian nuestra vida. Joy vivió en un momento en que las mujeres no debían tener voz y, sin embargo, su amor por Jack les otorgó las dos voces que ellos no sabían que poseían.Una fascinante novela histórica y una vislumbre de la vida de un escritor, combinadas en una pieza. Este libro es, sobre todo, una historia de amor: un amor por la literatura y las ideas y un amor entre marido y mujer que, al final, no resultó imposible en absolute.
Sri Aurobindo at 150: An Integral Vision of Evolution, Human Unity, and Peace (Sophia Studies in Cross-cultural Philosophy of Traditions and Cultures #40)
by Debidatta A. MahapatraThis book brings to focus one of the prominent 20th century Indian thinkers, Sri Aurobindo, by providing an overview of his philosophy on life and yoga, and by elucidating his thought in the context of contemporary society. This text is unique in approaching Sri Aurobindo as a problem solver and from a conflict resolution perspective, the latter being the author’s expertise. Sri Aurobindo’s contributions such as Ideal of Human Unity, Integral Yoga, Life Divine and his poetic vision as embodied in his epic poem, Savitri, are explored in-depth. The book explores these ideas to seek possible solutions to the current predicaments of human life and society. This monograph attracts not only students and researchers in the fields of philosophy, religion, yoga, political science, international politics, Indian thought, and conflict resolution, but also general interest readers.
