From the River to the Sea - Palestine and Israel in the Shadow of "Peace" (Hardcover)

From the River to the Sea: Palestine and Israel in the Shadow of 'Peace' provides original analysis of how communities have developed coping strategies and created foundations for new forms of political expression, interaction, and mobilization since the 1993 peace deal between the Palestine Liberation Organization and Israel. Its premise is that an historical realism is essential in order to develop a route out of the post-Oslo impasse that incubated and expanded a massive asymmetric power contrast under the auspices of 'peace'. The book brings together experts from Palestine, Israel, and further afield, and from across the disciplines of law, economics, political science, and anthropology to map out and critically assess the impacts and responses to this 'peace' in different geographical and political settings. These innovative analyses also investigate processes that might enable a future to be built based on greater equality and an end to the oppression and violence that currently exists between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea (and beyond).
