Book Launch: Jewish, not Zionist by Marilyn Garson

Join us in the shop for a celebratory evening to launch Marilyn Garson's new book, Jewish, not Zionist published by Left of the Equator Press.

A founding member of Global Jews for Palestine, Garson writes with the aroha of Gaza and an unwavering resolve learned on the front lines of the international movement for justice.

An important event not to be missed. All welcome!

Jewish, not Zionist by Marilyn Garson

About the author:
In 2011, she received an unsolicited offer to work and live in the Gaza Strip—an extraordinary invitation to live among people she had been told were her enemies.

Her first book, Still Lives: a Memoir of Gaza tells the story of four years, two wars, and the most unlikely social enterprise. She wrote to add adjectives to public understanding of the community of Gaza: educated, ambitious, and audaciously human behind a blockade wall.

Garson returned to Aotearoa in late 2015 to live as a member of the Jewish community, settle down, and speak about the human rights of Palestinians. As she recounts in Jewish, not Zionist, it didn’t turn out that way.
