Sharjah book fair had Host the Launching of New Book:
"Strategies for hope in the age of violence" By Marwa kreidieh
The book was marked by Hope and peace

Sharjah, 30 October 2010:
Sharjah international book fair 2010 had hosted Marwa Kreidieh, Lebanese women writer, on the occasion of the launch of the new book "Strategies for hope in the age of violence", reflecting the author deep anxieties about the present violence in the world.
The author offered alternative and rebellious perspective on the contemporary situation in the world and her interest in the field of sociology and its relationship to humanitarian activities. In her book, Marwa's covered the opinions of the wise men and then links that to politics, economy, media and environment. By doing so, she seeks to provide a general outlook for those who want to go beyond the reality of violence to a different horizon than those that have been captivated by power, violent content and the hustle of misleading media.
Marwa Kreidieh, a strong opponent of violence in all its forms and ideological moorings, pointed out that her book is an attempt at questioning the received wisdom on different aspects of life in our times, including religion and culture.
Marwa's work revolved around two key principles: the first presented the issue of violence and questioned its meaning, its boundaries, and its manifestations in politics, media and economy; while the second tried to attribute reasons for violence to the division of the human thought affected by the bilateral violent impotent logic.

The book, published by The Al NAYA Foundation for Research and Publishing, Damascus, is a collection of creative writings that defy easy categorization.
The gathering included media, intellectual persons, literary aficionados, friends and fans of the writer.
