From the founders of Scopio, the largest online library of authentic and original photographs, a stunning and unforgettable visual history that captures the world's response to major events that defined 2020: the COVID pandemic and the sweeping movements for racial and social justice. In 2020, the world experienced massive change. Millions of lives were ended--and millions more upended--by the Covid-19 pandemic. The shocking police killings of Black men and women gave rise to powerful social movements and widespread collective action to rectify centuries of injustice and racism. Together, these three colossal events tested the resilience of the social fabric bringing us all together.&nbsp; Attempting to illuminate and make sense of this new reality, artists from around the world documented these revolutionary moments as they unfolded. Now, many of their images have been collected in this beautiful and thought-provoking compendium. Carefully combing through their archive, the founders of Scopio, the largest online photographic library, have organized these photographs around several themes, including: - Hidden Heroes - Lockdown Lifestyle - Love and Togetherness - Creativity Unleashed - Future Leaders Representing artists from around the globe, The Year Time Stopped seeks to empower us and give credence to the extraordinary circumstances that changed our world. The 200 images in this striking visual collection are indelible, impassioned, and unforgettable. Taken together, they are a singular testament to this unprecedented time.

Following the historic Oslo Accords between the PLO and Israel, the future status of the Palestinian population living under Israeli occupation since 1967 has taken center stage. Effectively negotiated out of the agreement is the right of return or of compensation for almost four million Palestinians in exile. This book argues that because these Accords formally sever the Palestinians' historical claims from the present, it is crucial to understand the larger historical and ideological context in which the claims arose.In this broad and richly textured analysis, the authors examine the social, economic, and political development of the people of Palestine from antiquity to the present. The book opens with an overview of Palestine's place in regional and global history. Subsequent chapters discuss Palestinian society before and after the catastrophic division of Palestine in 1948 and explore the forces and constraints affecting the formation of Palestinian national identity, as embodied in popular institutions, the PLO, and resistance movements. The final chapter considers the prospects for Palestinian self-determination and statehood despite the limitations imposed by the Oslo Accords, as well as Palestine's future viability.
