"Hamas: From Resistance
to Government"
Ms. Paola Caridi
Journalist and Historian
Hamas:
From Resistance to Government (Seven
Stories Press, March 13, 2012) is a
comprehensive history of the Palestinian
Islamist movement and combines news analysis
with interviews of residents of Gaza to paint
an incisive and multi-layered portrait of this
still largely clandestine organization. Caridi
steers clear of sensationalist reporting of the
2006 elections that brought Hamas to power, and
instead looks at the history of this war-torn
region and analyzes the circumstances that led
a secular people to elect a radical Islamist
group and the larger effects that it's had on
the Israel/Palestine conflict.
