Eleven Lives

“Vivid accounts of a world we know too little about.” — Caryl Churchill, playwright “In these rich, authentic stories from the Palestinian refugees of Lebanon there are the expected tales of courage and fear, war and expulsion, of longing for the lost homeland and the bitterness of family separations. But there's also the sweetness of romantic love, the playfulness of children, the strength and warmth of family bonds and the ever present hope of better lives to come. This is a book of remarkable lives, written by remarkable people, whose stories are to savour.” — Elizabeth Laird, children’s fiction and travel writer “The book is truly delightful. The stories are well-written, highly diverse in style, tone, and genre, but all thoroughly enjoyable, and often very moving. Stories about contemporary Palestinians are few and far between in English, let alone stories told in—and by—non-elite, diasporic Palestinian voices. The volume brings a vibrancy and vitality to these stories that reminds the reader of the multitudinous experience of Palestinian refugees, and of the dynamic tectonics of Palestinian lives in diaspora. In Khalidi's skilled hands, this volume is an important and welcome contribution to Palestinian stories in English specifically, and to Arabic literature in English translation more broadly.” — Ghenwa Hayek, Associate Professor of Modern Arabic Literature, University of Chicago “This marvelous book lifts the veil of anonymity that has long concealed the reality of refugees, not as UN statistics, but as human beings with stories to tell.”— Ghada Karmi, Palestinian doctor, writer, and Research Fellow at the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies, University of Exeter “The triumph of this unique book is how it manages to unite the indomitable spirit of Palestinian survival with the transformative potential of first-person narratives. 11 Lives is a deeply humane, precisely detailed, and intimately drawn collection of refugee stories that reveals more about life as a Palestinian refugee in Lebanon—with all the major pitfalls, daily joys, and absolute steadfastness—than any newspaper report, academic treatise, or NGO study ever could. ”—Moustafa Bayoumi, award winning author of The Muslim American Life "11 Lives offers an assiduous, kaleidoscopic look at life for Palestinian refugees in Lebanon against the tide of a literary supply-chain that demands extractive and paternalistic refugee stories, seldom written by refugees themselves.” —Mohammed El-Kurd, Palestinian writer and poet

Realism and Exceptionalism in U.S. Foreign Policy

The responsibility of leadership forced the U.S. to direct its means to the ends of a 'common and shared mission', of laissez-faire economy, freedom and self-determination across the globe, which paved the way for the American pragmatism to go global as well. High-sounding values without power, i.e. hard power, is like a skeleton without flesh. Adherence to the value-system is the requirement of the exceptional character of the American political culture Whilst, the values of international politics required the pursuance of power in the form of alliances, counter-alliances, and balance of power for the enhancement of its capabilities. With the help of Kenneth Waltz, Structural-Realism, the research has argued that both structures i.e. Exceptionalism at the National level and Realism at the International level has constrained the American foreign policy behaviour. The book has analysed the eras of different presidents from 1969 till 2014 that how the structures have punished certain presidents and how it rewarded others, on the basis of their dealings with Exceptionalism at home and Realism abroad.
