Trade Review"It is no small task to disentangle the intricate threads of Palestine-Israel relations as these have developed in the recent tumultuous years. These expert essays approach this goal from varied perspectives and with rich insight into the internal workings of the societies themselves, and the international framework in which their confrontations have evolved. If there is to be a resolution to these painful conflicts, and the misery they are inflicting, it will have to be based on comprehensive understanding of the kind that these inquiries provide, with impressive success." -Noam Chomsky,Massachusetts Institute of Technology "This is a critical and comprehensive guide to political and cultural developments in Israel and Palestine in the last decade. Some of the most informed and insightful analysts writing today allow us finally to see clearly what official media and politicians have obscured." -Lila Abu-Lughod,Columbia University
