Gaza: Beneath the Bombs – Australia Events

I’m in Australia until about mid-July 2011 and with the Bradt Guide done and and dusted, I’m hoping to promote Gaza: Beneath the Bombs with some events. If any solidarity groups, bookshops, book groups or anyone else is up for hosting a reading or discussion based around Gaza BTB, or around the forthcoming Bradt Guide to Palestine or biography of Leila Khaled, please get in touch on mail [at] sarahirving.co.uk.

Readings bookshop, Melbourne. In conversation with Professor Raimond Gaita. 6.30pm, Readings St Kilda, 112 Acland St, St Kilda, Victoria, 3182. Free.

Both of our authors tonight have written on Gaza and both deplore the horror of it all. Join us a serious conversation about what to do next and why. Sarah’s book: Gaza: Beneath the Bombs explores the reality of life in Gaza. Raimond’s book Gaza: Law, Morality and Politics brings together a thought-provoking collection of essays by public intellectuals on the subject of conflict. A night to question the moral code we live by.
