No Peace Yet: A life in many parts

The extraordinary life of Yael Lotan—writer, editor, translator, and political activist—from her birth in British Mandatory Palestine in 1935, and as a first-hand witness of the birth of the State of Israel, Argentina under Perón, England of the 1950s, Jamaica's independence in the early 1960s, New York during the Civil Rights movement, and Israel from the Six Day War onwards. Be it as the daughter of one of Israel's founding political leaders, the wife of a Black American writer, a correspondent of the Jamaican Daily Gleaner, the editor of Israel's leading cultural magazine or leading political activist of the Israeli left, Lotan was always at the heart of political events of five countries, at critical junctures of their history. With her unerring analysis of the political reality wherever she went, spotting trends and truths—such as #MeToo, #BlackLivesMatter, and #NoPlanetB—decades before their time, her life story reads like a Jonas Jonasson novel titled, "The Woman Who Made Malcolm X Blush—Twice".
