Aronoff whose work on political culture has built conceptual and methodological bridges between political science and anthropology. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTopics 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eContinuity and Change in Political Culture: Israel \u0026amp; Beyond recalls Myron J. Aronoff’s innovative re-inventing of political culture over the course of his illustrious career, allowing him to uncover how power is exerted and legitimacy earned. The contributors to this festschrift elaborate and extend his insistent reimagining of a re-democratized Israel at peace with a viable Palestinian state.\u003c\/p\u003e -- David D. Laitin, Stanford University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow fitting is it that a volume in tribute to Professor Myron Aronoff—one of the academic giants in the field of culture and politics—is itself a vital resource for understanding Israeli culture, politics and the peace process. Aronoff’s work has inspired scholars for several generations; that influence has also been personal: for example, his 2009 analysis of the Camp David Summit—'Camp David Rashomon'—was a building block for my own work on lessons learned and unlearned in peace negotiations. This volume is truly a living legacy to a leading American professor.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Daniel C.
