Review: "Drawing on extensive fieldwork conducted inside Hamas-affiliated civil society institutions in the Gaza Strip, Michael Irving Jensen addresses a number of questions, and offers the first multidimensional portrait of this complex organisation. Based on interviews with the leadership, the rank-and-file, and ordinary Palestinians, Irving Jensen shows how Hamas operates within civil society and how its officially stated goals relate to the social and political realities of the West Bank and Gaza. In doing so he lays the groundwork for a more accurate way of understanding the organisation, and the future of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict."--BOOK JACKET.
