What explains the peculiar intensity and evident intractability of
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? Of all the "hot spots" in the
world today, the apparently endless clash between Jews and Arabs in
the Middle East seems unique in its longevity and resistance to
resolution. Is this conflict really different from other ethnic and
nationalist confrontations, and if so, in what way? In this fully
revised and expanded fourth edition of his highly respected
introductory text, Alan Dowty demystifies the conflict by putting
it in broad historical perspective, identifying its roots, and
tracing its evolution up to the current impasse. His account offers
a clear analytic framework for understanding transformations over
time, and in doing so, punctures the myths of an "age-old" conflict
with an unbridgeable gap between the two sides. Rather than simply
reciting historical detail, this book presents a clear overview
that serves as a road map through the thicket of conflicting
claims. Updated to include recent developments, such as the clashes
in the Gaza Strip and the latest diplomatic initiatives, the new
edition presents in full the opposed perspectives of the two sides,
leaving readers to make their own evaluations of the issues. The
book thus expresses fairly and objectively the concerns, hopes,
fears, and passions of both sides, making it clear why this
conflict is waged with such vehemence -- and how, for all that, the
gap between the two sides has narrowed over time.
