Jews and Muslims in the Arab World highlights the effects of
historical memory on the Arab-Israel conflict, demonstrating that
both Jews and Arabs use stories of distant pasts to create their
identities and shape their politics. Whether real or imagined, the
past filtered through their collective memories has had and will
continue to have enormous influence on how Jews and Arabs perceive
themselves and each other. Jews and Muslims in the Arab World
describes the ways in which the past is absorbed, internalized, and
then processed among Jews and Arabs. The book stresses the
importance of historical imagination on the current evolving
political cultures, but does not claim that explanations from an
ancient past shed light on every aspect of contemporary events.
