Ten leading scholars and practitioners of politics, political
science, anthropology, Israel studies, and Middle East affairs
address the theme of continuity and change in political culture as
a tribute to Professor Myron (Mike) J. Aronoff whose work on
political culture has built conceptual and methodological bridges
between political science and anthropology. Topics include the
legitimacy of the two-state solution, identity and memory,
denationalization, the role of trust in peace negotiations,
democracy, majority-minority relations, inclusion and exclusion,
Biblical and national narratives, art in public space, and
avant-garde theater. Countries covered include Israel, Palestine,
the United States, the Basque Autonomous Region of Spain, and
Poland. The first four chapters by Yael S. Aronoff, Saliba Sarsar,
Yossi Beilin, and Nadav Shelef examine aspects of the conflict and
peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians, including
alternative solutions. The contributions by Naomi Chazan, Ilan
Peleg, and Joel Migdal tackle challenges to democracy in Israel, in
other divided societies, and in the creation of the American
public. Yael Zerubavel, Roland Vazquez, and Jan Kubik focus their
analyses on aspects of national memory, memorialization, and
dramatization. Mike Aronoff relates his work on various aspects of
political culture to each chapter in an integrative essay in the
Epilogue.
