Monday, July 4, 2016: Chivvis Moore discusses her new memoir

Militarism, Feminism and Nationalism

First Tie Your Camel, Then Trust In God: An American Feminist in the Arab World

Chivvis Moore discusses her new memoir, First Tie Your Camel, Then Trust In God: An American Feminist in the Arab World.  Moore lived in the Middle East for 17 years, including three in Egypt, three in Syria, and 11 in Palestine.  She talks about what attracted her and what she learned about Muslim and Arab culture, volunteering as a medic in Jenin Refugee Camp immediately after the brutal siege of 2002, the impact of Western funding on the Palestinian women's movement, and how community helps people make it through intolerable situations.
Buy the Book

from Moore's website:
Since living in Brazil three years as a child, I have been drawn to live among people of other cultures, whether on a Native American reservation in Arizona, among African Americans in the Fillmore District in San Francisco before ”gentrification,” or in Arab communities in Egypt, Syria and Palestine. As an adult, I lived and worked 17 years in the Middle East —  3 years in Egypt, 2 in Syria, a year in Israel, where I taught Palestinian and Jewish citizens of Israel, and 11 years teaching at Birzeit University in the West Bank, returning to the US in 2008. I have earned my living as a journalist, a carpenter and general building contractor, an editor and researcher, and a teacher of English for Academic Purposes. I have worked with adults and youth establishing community newspapers in Native American, Latino and African American communities.  I now work with Zawaya, a non-profit organization that teaches and promotes the Arab arts, especially music, in the San Francisco Bay Area. I live in Oakland with my partner and my cat Nahar, born in Nazareth.

Chivvis Moore will be reading and discussing her book on Friday, July 8th at 6PM, Laurel Book Store, 1423 Broadway, Oakland, CA, 510-452-9232.

Rasmea Odeh, Chicago feminist community leader and torture survivor, faces prison.

Rasmea Odeh was arrested and sexually tortured by the Israeli military in 1969, eventually confessing to a crime she didn't commit.  After ten years in Israeli prison, Rasmea created a new life in the U.S., helping to found the Arab Women's Committee, a 600-member organization that helps immigrant Arab women learn English, find their voices, and support one another.  Now the U.S. government is threatening to strip her of her citizenship and send her to prison for another ten years because of her past as a political prisoner.  We talk about the case with Professor Nadine Naber, author of Arab America: Gender, Cultural Politics and Activism.

Call Tuesday, September 2nd to stop the deportation of Rasmea. Go to www.stopfbi.net for phone numbers. Click here to sign petition to drop the charges against Rasmea.

We speak with filmmakers Judith Montell and Emmy Scharlatt about their film, "In The Image," which features footage shot by half a dozen young Palestinian women working with the Israeli human rights group, "Btselem" to document daily life under occupation. Not just human rights violations but also graduation parties, shopping, falling in love, resisting by existing - they tell it like it is.

Listen now or Get MP3. 25:03 min.





In the Image is showing at the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival on Wednesday, July 30 at 1:50 PM at the Castro Theatre, and on Sunday, August 3 at 4:45 PM at the California Theatre. For tickets and more information go to SFJFF.org.

She directed and edited a series of 16 half hour dramatic programs in Esperanto, “Pasporto al la Tuta Mondo” for the purpose of teaching the language to aspiring Esperantists around the world.

January 27, 2014: Nuclear Free Middle East? and a Brief History of Rape in the US

Groundbreaking Conference in Haifa for Nuclear Free Zone in Israel:

"Enough is enough!" It's time to examine Israel's policy of not admitting they have nuclear weapons; that the existence of nuclear weapons is not an asset but a danger to the area and to Israelis.

Kate Raphael speaks with Jackie Cabasso, Executive Director of Western States Legal Foundation, about the groundbreaking conference held in Haifa, Israel last month breaking the taboo on discussing Israel's nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction. The Haifa conference was organized by a preparatory committee including former members of the Israeli Knesset (Parliament) and dedicated Israeli anti-nuclear and human rights activists from around the world.

Jackie talks about the history of efforts to make the Middle East a zone free of nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction, as over 137 countries around the world are. "You certainly don't have to be an expert to know that nuclear weapons are a really bad thing," says Jackie Cabasso. 21:27 min.

Rape in the US:

Sexual violence from a historical, economic, cultural, and political perspective.



President Obama has convened a task force to address the epidemic of rape on campus. In this segment Lisa Dettmer talks with Estelle Freedman, professor of history and feminist studies at Stanford, about the history of U.S. definitions and understandings of rape and sexual violence.  Freedman is the author of REDEFINING RAPE: Sexual Violence in the Age of Suffrage and Segregation.

Harvard University Press says about Estelle Freedman's book: Rape has never had a universally accepted definition, and the uproar over “legitimate rape” during the 2012 U.S. elections confirms that it remains a word in flux. Redefining Rape tells the story of the forces that have shaped the meaning of sexual violence in the United States, through the experiences of accusers, assailants, and advocates for change. In this ambitious new history, Estelle Freedman demonstrates that our definition of rape has depended heavily on dynamics of political power and social privilege. 29:28 min.
