By Daphna Golan-Agnon

Though brought up in a right-wing Israeli household, the daughter of a former member of the Stern Gang, Daphna Golan-Agnon has become one of Israel's most outspoken activists for the rights of Palestinians. In this moving memoir, she writes of her struggle to raise children and carry on with everyday life in a state edging ever closer to apartheid. Through anecdotes, interviews and letters, Next Year in Jerusalem provides an insider's view of the milestones of the Israeli peace movement, drawing on Golan-Agnon's experience as co-founder of the human rights organization B'T selem and the feminist peace group Bat Shalom. From the efforts to draw attention to the Ansar III desert prison, where Palestinian political prisoners once languished without trial, to the 1999 Israeli High Court victory to abolish torture, to the many misunderstandings that arise even among like-minded Palestinian and Israeli activists, Golan-Agnon candidly portrays the growing movement of Israelis who refuse to participate in the persecution of Palestinians. Confronting the Palestinian-Israeli dilemma in all its complexity, Next Year in Jerusalem gives readers a unique, personal view of the joint struggle for peace.
