This timely book offers a blueprint for resolving what is often
called the most intractable--if not taboo--subject in the
Arab-Israeli peace negotiations: a just and permanent solution to
the problem of over 3 million Palestinian refugees. The refugee
question has never before been treated as the keystone of regional
peace and stability. In a hard-hitting, yet balanced and
dispassionate analysis, Donna Arzt advocates that the end of the
Middle East conflict can only be achieved when all Palestinian
refugees are offered citizenship, compensation for lost property,
and voluntary absorption options in either a future state of
Palestine, other Arab states in the region, the broader
international community, or, on family reunification grounds,
repatriation in Israel. Comprehensive in scope, yet free of
technical jargon, the book is both accessible to generalists and
valuable to specialists in the fields of refugee studies, the
Middle East conflict, human rights, and public international law.
Drawing on the latest historiography, demographic data, and legal
texts on the concept of " return, " statelessness and minority
rights, Refugees into Citizens avoids falling into the trap of
relitigating old polemics and accusations by inviting the
international community into a pragmatic, forward-looking dialogue
on this most politically sensitive question. " Donna Arzt's
innovative and substantial proposal for resolving the complex
Palestine refugee issue challenges us to act on the basis that
inclusion, reconciliation, compromise, dignity, and belonging are
important ingredients in a search for viable, concrete, legal, and
lasting resolution to seemingly intractable refugee problems
atconflict's end." Judy Mayotte, author, Disposable People? The
Plight of the Refugees " This compact book brilliantly summarizes
both the history of and the law governing the status of millions of
Palestinian refugees. It offers a workable plan for turning these
refugees into citizens as part of a comprehensive settlement of the
Arab- Israeli conflict. I recommend it to experts and lay readers
alike." Rita E. Hauser, International Lawyer
