Description: "In this volume, scholars from the fields of literature, history, political science, and sociology come together to exchange new insights on the Arab-Israeli conflict. They examine how events in the region since the 1940s have affected Israeli and Palestinian concepts of identity, on both sides of the cease-fire lines of 1949 and in exile communities in the region and abroad.

The essays conclude with a roundtable discussion, a rare opportunity for scholars in Israeli and Palestinian studies to share each other's understanding of what is central to the identities of each of these peoples."--BOOK JACKET.
