Comment Comprendre Israël En 60 Jours, Ou Moins by Sarah Glidden

3.0

I read this on a fairly old recommendation and I'm not sorry I did, but I think it would have been more useful to me at the time of the recommendation (I think like 2 or 3 years ago) rather than now, as my own understanding of and positions on Israel have evolved. Glidden does not arrive at any pat answers, which is both definitely the right thing and also a little unsatisfying as the end of a book. But she does do a decent job of complexifying the situation from the perspective of an American progressive, which is a perpetually useful endeavor. I almost wish she had extended the narrative and talked more about how her experience returning to the US and her political community was, although I understand why she didn't.
