Is there a region of the world where it's harder to imagine a solution for anything than the Middle East? Solution 196-213: United States of Palestine-Israel plunges in, each contributor offering one solution that would make life better and proposes ways to do it. Since it seemed absurb to present a one-person master plan for the region, this collection departed from the previous books in the Solution series and invited several writers from the region to take a shot at something specific and doable. The idea is to rethink the different antagonisms that structure our ways of resistance and compliance: to rethink Semitism and 1948, identity and territory, resistance and memory, democracy and state, Zionism and decolonization, refugee and property, religion and solution. Contributors include Sandi Hilal, Alessandro Petti, Joshua Simon, and Eyal Weizman.
