Essays by noted scholars are juxtaposed with profiles of individual Israelis and Palestinians involved in peace activism. What emerges is a unique perspective on the prospects for peace in this troubled area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoordinated with a documentary film of the same name, the book is designed as a tool for the study of conflict resolution generally and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in particular. The twelve original essays deal with the issues from different disciplinary perspectives: political science (Yehoshafat Harkabi, A. R. Norton, Muhammad Muslih, and Robert Vitalis); history (Avraham Zilkha and Joel Beinin); anthropology (Robert Rubinstein); sociology (Salim Tamari); film (Steven Talley); law (Edward Sherman); and international peacekeeping (Christian Harleman). The human side of the struggle is presented through brief biographies and portraits of twenty-five ordinary Israelis and Palestinians involved in peace activities in Israel and the West Bank.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Univ of Chicago behalf of University of Texas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53530094305647,"sku":"9780292730717","price":289.02,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/0292730713.jpg?v=1790360379","url":"https:\/\/internacional.umlivro.com.br\/products\/the-struggle-for-peace","provider":"UmLivro Internacional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
