Jihad for Jerusalem explores the agent-structure dynamics in world

Culture
and Customs of the Palestinians

Samih K. Farsoun
Published
: 2004
Pages HC
Price :
52.00$ HC
Book
Description
The Palestinians have been at the center of Middle Eastern and world
history for nearly a century. The core issues of the
Palestinian-Israeli conflict are still the ones that emerged in
1948, after what Palestinians term al-Nakba, the destruction of
historical Palestine and the dispossession and expulsion of its
people. At the center of this vortex of politics, diplomacy,
oppression, resistance, and struggle are the Palestinians. The
Palestinians are an ancient Arab people, with both Islamic and
Christian adherents, and their traditional culture and present way
of life under difficult conditions are greatly illuminated for
students and general readers.

Bridges
Over Troubled Water
A
Comparative Study of Jews, Arabs, and Palestinians
Author:
Dahlia Moore and Salem Aweiss
Published
: 2004
Pages:235 HC
Price:71.000 JD
Book
Description
This work determines the processes that strengthen hostility between
opposing groups and identifies those who are willing to act in order
to change these situations. The backdrop of the Arab-Israeli
conflict is used to demonstrate how collective identities are shaped
by membership in ethnic and religious groups, and how these
identities influence attitudes and behavior. It examines political
attitudes, hatred of "others," and willingness to assume
responsibility for the various social issues of this conflict.

Review
“Every article is insightful, well reasoned, and
supported. Many are innovative or at least offer a perspective not
often expounded. The topics themselves suggest the richness of ideas
about social identity: the new historiography, Arab-Jewish
relations, "negating exile," the Diaspora factor, the Holocaust,
Judaism, new immigrants from the former Soviet Union, from "melting
pot to multiculturalism," and globalization....Highly recommended.
All levels/libraries.”
Book Description
The last 15 years have witnessed deep changes in Israeli society.
The naive solidarity of the early years of statehood has given way
to more sophisticated approaches, and the atmosphere of the 1990s
was conducive towards critique and open discussion. It was the age
of the Oslo Accords, of the large wave of immigrants from the Former
Soviet Union, economic growth and prosperity, and a concurrent
feeling of security and well-being. Israel was fast becoming a post
capitalist society, a junior member of the global village. This
newly acquired self-assurance led to openness towards unorthodox
views on basic questions of Israeli identity. This book attempts to
come to grips with these themes. The complex texture of Israeli
society is drawn here by a number of hands, presenting up-to-date
approaches, as viewed by experts.

Calvin Goldscheider

Pages :228 HC

38.000 JD
The
Conflict in cultures between the Arabs and the Israelis is Brought
to life in the first-person accounts, letters, memoirs, and stories
of ordinary people caught in the strife. Mired in the tangled past
of the history of the region, and fired by the events of the past
fifty years, the Arab-Israeli conflict must be viewed as both a long
standing and a recent development> Against the background of the
changes that have characterized that society, Goldscheider, a
leading authority on the social history of Israel, examines the
perspectives of both sides in the conflict and the impact that it
has on the daily lives of families and individuals.
Twelve
primary source documents give voice to the feelings of ordinary
Arabs an Jews who have experienced this conflict in their own lives.
