After the 1993 Oslo Accords people across the world anticipated the
onset of peace and an end to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. For
Israelis, the Accords generated massive economic growth and a sense
of security. For Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip,
they led to a dramatic rise in poverty and unemployment due to a
complex array of closures, militarized checkpoints, and bypass
roads, and a vast expansion of the settlement project that
fractured Palestinian territories and communities. In 2000 popular
Palestinian rage with the new shape of the Israeli occupation
erupted in a second uprising or intifada. In this volume, prominent
scholars and journalists examine the dramatic political changes in
Palestine and Israel from the Oslo Accords through the second
intifada and the death of Yasser Arafat. Their essays address the
political economy of the Oslo process, social and political changes
in Palestine and Israel, United States foreign policy, social
movements and political activism, and the interplay between
cultural and political-economic processes. The volume also includes
documents, maps, poetry, and graphic art. Contributors: Ammiel
