Synopsis
English summary: English summary: Every year in late autumn does the hustle for priests begin: I am still searching for a nativity play. For those priests who mean modern plays does Harald Apel offer original solutions for different target groups: plays for children and youth from 6-16, plays for adults, for school choirs and many more. A speciality of this volume are three easter plays: one for woman, one for youth and one for a mixed group. Theatre and theology replenish each other, says the author. Both are a challenge - taking on a theatre role or to open up to other people and show empathy. German description: Jedes Jahr im Spatherbst geht ein Raunen durch die Pfarrkonvente: Ich suche noch ein Krippenspiel. Fur die, die damit meinen: ein neues - bietet Harald Apel Originelles. Dabei sind durchaus verschiedene Zielgruppen im Blick: Es gibt Stucke fur Kinder und Jugendliche von 6 bis 16; Stucke fur Erwachsene, fur den Schulchor usw. Ein besonderes Special des Bandes: Die drei Osterspiele, eines fur Frauen, eines fur Jugendliche, eines fur eine gemischte Gruppe. Theater und Theologie erganzen sich, meint der Autor. In beiden Fallen besteht die Herausforderung darin, Rollentausch vorzunehmen - in eine Theaterrolle zu schlupfen oder aber sich empathisch fur den Nachsten zu offnen.

In beiden Fallen besteht die Herausforderung darin, Rollentausch vorzunehmen - in eine Theaterrolle zu schlupfen oder aber sich empathisch fur den Nachsten zu offnen., Named an outstanding title of 2006 by Publishers Weekly At a time when a lasting peace between the Palestinians and the Israelis seems virtually unattainable, understanding the roots of their conflict is an essential step in restoring hope to the region. In The Iron Cage, Rashid Khalidi, one of the most respected historians and political observers of the Middle East, homes in on Palestinian politics and history. By drawing on a wealth of experience and scholarship, Khalidi provides a lucid context for the realities on the ground today, a context that has been, until now, notably lacking in our discourse. The story of the Palestinian search to establish a state begins in the mandate period immediately following the breakup of the Ottoman Empire, the era of British control, when fledgling Arab states were established by the colonial powers with assurances of eventual independence. Mandatory Palestine was a place of real promise, with unusually high literacy rates and a relatively advanced economy. But the British had already begun to construct an iron cage to hem in the Palestinians, and the Palestinian leadership made a series of errors that would eventually prove crippling to their dream of independence. The Palestinians' struggle intensified in the stretch before and after World War II, when colonial control of the region became increasingly unpopular, population shifts began with heavy Jewish immigration from Eastern Europe, and power began to devolve to the United States. In this crucial period, Palestinian leaders continued to run up against the walls of the ever-constricting iron cage. They proved unable to achieve their long-cherished goal of establishing anindependent state--a critical failure that set a course for the decades that followed, right through the eras of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, the Palestinian Authority, and Hamas. Rashid Khalidi's engrossing narrative of this torturous history offers much-needed perspective for anyone concerned about peace in the Middle East. "In his new book The Iron Cage Rashid Khalidi uses history to provide a clear-eyed view of the region and assess the prospects for peace....He strives successfully for even-handedness...He's fair to both sides, and in particular, he's knowledgeable not only about Palestinian history but about what he has called 'tragic Jewish history." --Anthony Lewis Dr. Rashid Khalidi, author of Resurrecting Empire and Palestinian Identity, holds the Edward Said Chair in Arab Studies at Columbia University, where he heads the Middle East Institute. He has written more than eighty articles on Middle Eastern history and politics, as well as op-ed pieces in the New York Times, the Boston Globe, the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, and The Nation. He lives in New York. Praise for Resurrecting Empire "Mr. Kahlidi's book will certainly be useful to all those outside the region who are engaged in the difficult yet crucial task of devising ways to help foster change in the Middle East." --Ivo H. Daalder, New York Times "Khalidi makes a powerful case for a more evenhanded policy toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict--and for the rejection of the dangerous ambition of making the United States an imperial power in the Middle East." --Warren I. Cohen, Los Angeles Times "With a deep knowledge of the Middle East and a felicitous literarystyle, Khalidi . . . examines the history of U.S. involvement in the area against the backdrop of European colonialism and shows why an assertion of our good intentions has little meaning for peoples who have known two centuries of foreign occupation and domination." --Ronald Steel, The Nation "Khalidi, armed with a deep knowledge of the region, demonstrates that the legacy of past empires has conditioned present-day Middle Easterners to resist outside control, direct or indirect." --L. Carl Brown, Foreign Affairs "Khalidi brings firsthand knowledge and an exten, In Resurrecting Empire, Rashid Khalidi dissected the failures of colonial policy over the entire span of the modern history of the Middle East, predicted the meltdown in Iraq that we are now witnessing with increasing horror, and offered viable alternatives for achieving peace in the region. His newest book, The Iron Cage, hones in on Palestinian politics and history. Once again Khalidi draws on a wealth of experience and scholarship to elucidate the current conflict, using history to provide a clear-eyed view of the situation today. The story of the Palestinian search to establish a state begins in the era of British control over Palestine and stretches between the two world wars, when colonial control of the region became increasingly unpopular and power began to shift toward the United States. In this crucial period, and in the years immediately following World War II, Palestinian leaders were unable to achieve the long-cherished goal of establishing an independent state-a critical failure that throws a bright light on the efforts of the Palestinians to create a state in the many decades since 1948. By frankly discussing the reasons behind this failure, Khalidi offers a much-needed perspective for anyone concerned about peace in the Middle East.
