"The work of these authors--at once scholarly and
practical/political--is not only rigorous, but very moving. At a
moment when the conflicts between Palestinians and Israelis seem
insurmountable, they demonstrate otherwise and so offer us hope."
-Joan W. Scott, professor of social science, Institute for Advanced
Study "This book contains very important insights into Israeli Arab
attitudes towards citizenship in Israel. . . . The two groups need
to negotiate a new social and political contract and this book
offers critical guidance in this urgent process." -Joseph V.
Montville, director, Preventive Diplomacy Program, Center for
Strategic and International Studies "This volume provides a
significant contribution to the field of peace studies and conflict
resolution. It captures the unique work of Neve Shalom/Wahat al
Salam on identity dialogue and power relations. . . . highly
recommended reading." -Mohammed Abu-Nimer, author of Nonviolence
and Peace Building in Islam: Theory and Practice Attempts to
initiate interactions between Palestinians and Jews outside
official frameworks have often dissolved under political and
economic pressures. One lasting effort to help create a more
authentic and egalitarian dialogue between the two groups began
when the School for Peace was established in 1976 in Neve
Shalom/Wahat al Salam, a joint model village set up in 1972 by a
group of Jewish and Palestinian Israelis. This volume is the
product of the insight and experiences of both Arabs and Jews at
the School for Peace over the last two decades. Essays address
topics such as strategies for working with young people,
development of effective learning environments for conflict
resolution, and language as a bridge and as an obstacle. It is the
first book to provide a model for dialogue between Palestinians and
Jews that has been used successfully in other ethnic and national
conflicts, and should be required reading for everyone interested
in Jewish-Palestinian relations. Rabah Halabi is the head of the
School for Peace Research Center at Neve Shalom/Wahat al Salam in
Israel, and a lecturer in the education department at the Hebrew
University.
