Jerusalem 1977-2027 ... The Trilogy. Quest for a Just Peace. Part One

By Gordie LaRocque

'Jerusalem 1977-2027 ... The Trilogy. Quest for a Just Peace. Part One' is the 1st of four parts encompassing 50 years of Jerusalem being the centre of travels, exploits, and learnings about the intrinsic deep-rooted complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian reality.
Part One celebrates the spirit and wonder of Jerusalem, and details rich experiences during the first 11 days upon arriving within the centuries-old walls of Jerusalem's Old City. Strong characters and relationships provide valuable insight into personal, societal, and political realms.
These characters' influences and the author's explorations through lanes, alleys, and walls of the four quarters of the Old City develop understandings of the Israeli-Palestinian struggle.
Permeating Part One are vivid descriptions of the timeless history and beauty of the Old City, and of the socio-political-religious dynamics that are the rapture of Jerusalem, The Eternal City.

'Worlds Collude - Escape Tales from Surf City to Sidi Ifni' is the 2nd of a trilogy. The first book is 'A Personal and Political Journey Through Beirut, April/May, 1977'. The 3rd book currently in progress is titled ‘Jerusalem 1977-2027. Quest For A Just Peace’. All these works stem from years of studying, travelling, working, and living in the Middle East and North Africa.In my career in Social Work I wrote formal research, and about citizen’s resilience, and of the need for egalitarian systemic response to peoples’ socio-economic struggles.My professional Social Work writing, as well as my primary life duty as full-time father, took all my time and energies. I do not communicate or promote on social media. My life has not followed the usual ‘grid’.
