Hamas, Jihad and Popular Legitimacy - Reinterpreting Resistance in Palestine

Zusatztext "Dunning has managed to combine rigorous analysis without dominating or smothering the subject. His work not only provides insight! but also fills a gap! particularly with regard to Hamas rhetoric and pragmatism! that is often overlooked and fuels considerable ambiguity. It is not the resistance concept that defines Hamas! but rather the various options for which the movement has advocated that show it as a consistent entity! as opposed to a mere reaction to Israeli violence"Ramona Wadi!
