Introduction to any complex international conflict is enriched when
the voices of the adversaries are heard. The Israel/Palestine
Reader is an innovative collection, focused on the human dimension
of the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian confrontation. Its vivid and
illuminating readings present the voices of the diverse parties
through personal testimonies and analyses. Key leaders, literary
figures, prominent analysts, and simply close observers of
different phases of this protracted conflict are all
represented--in their own words. From Mark Twain to Theodor Herzl,
Gamal Abdul Nasser, Golda Meir, Anwar Sadat, Ezer Weizman, Ehud
Barak, Marwan Barghouti, Mahmoud Abbas, Benjamin Netanyahu, John
Kerry, and dozens of others, the firsthand narratives brought
together in this Reader bring the conflict to life as seen by those
closest to it. Though structured to complement Alan Dowty's
introductory text Israel/Palestine (4th edition, Polity 2017), this
Reader also stands on its own as a survey of "voices" in the
conflict. Each of the ten chapters is framed by an editorial
introduction that sets the pieces in context. By juxtaposing
contrasting viewpoints both between and within the opposed parties,
these pieces underline the drama of the conflict, while final
judgment is left to the reader. This lively volume will add color
and texture to any study of Arab-Israeli issues or of the Middle
East generally.
