Crammed into a space of 139 square miles (360 square kilometers), 1.8 million people live under an Israeli siege, enforcing conditions that continue to plummet to ever more unimaginable depths of degradation and despair. Gaza, however, is more than an endless encyclopedia of depressing statistics. It is also a place of fortitude, resistance, and imagination; a context in which inhabitants go to remarkable lengths to create the ordinary conditions of the everyday and to reject their exceptional status. Inspired by Gaza’s inhabitants, this book builds on the positive capabilities of Gazans. It brings together environmentalists, planners, activists, and scholars from Palestine and Israel, the US, the UK, India, and elsewhere to create hopeful interventions that imagine a better place for Gazans and Palestinians. \u003ci\u003eOpen Gaza \u003c\/i\u003eengages the Gaza Strip within and beyond the logics of siege and warfare, it considers how life can be improved inside the limitations imposed by the Israeli blockade, and outside the idiocy of violence and warfare.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributors Affiliations\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSalem Al Qudwa\u003c\/b\u003e, Harvard Divinity School and Harvard Kennedy School, Cambridge, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHadeel Assali\u003c\/b\u003e,  Columbia University, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTareq Baconi\u003c\/b\u003e, International Crisis Group, Brussels, Belgium\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTeddy Cruz\u003c\/b\u003e, University of California-San Diego, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFonna Forman\u003c\/b\u003e, University of California-San Diego, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eM.
