"[T]his nuanced, empathic, and knowledgeable book is an important read for supporters of [both Israelis and Palestinians], and for people seeking a book through which to enter the charged field of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict." -- Hillel Cohen, Israeli Historian & Journalist, "In this moving, lyrical, and very important book, with some of the bravest and most honest of Israelis and Palestinians as guides, Roberts offers readers an intimate, often searing tour of the country's psychological landscape." -- Professor Ian Lustick, Bess W Heyman Chair of Political Science, University of Pennsylvania, [A] beautifully written book 'e¦ Jo Roberts captures the voices of Jewish and Palestinian Israelis in all their diversity, pain, and eloquence., This compelling and compassionate book offers fresh insight into how these divergent histories reverberate in Israel today, examining how selective memories of suffering that exclude the 'e~other'e(tm) impede reconciliation and a just peace., "This compelling and compassionate book offers fresh insight into how these divergent histories reverberate in Israel today, examining how selective memories of suffering that exclude the 'other' impede reconciliation and a just peace." -- Mubarak Awad, Founder, Palestinian Center for the Study of Nonviolence, In this moving, lyrical, and very important book, with some of the bravest and most honest of Israelis and Palestinians as guides, Roberts offers readers an intimate, often searing tour of the country's psychological landscape. -- Professor Ian Lustick, , Bess W. Heyman Chair of Political Science, University of Pennsylvania, [A] beautifully written book ... Jo Roberts captures the voices of Jewish and Palestinian Israelis in all their diversity, pain, and eloquence., Roberts does a masterful job of presenting all perspectives in their proper context. -- Publishers Weekly, A short review such as this cannot do justice to a book which narrates in rich detail the history of the Jews in Europe leading to the founding of the State of Israel and its impact on the local population of Palestine. The discussion of identity, statehood and the role of narrative give a context for the sources of the conflicts and their continuation., [Roberts's] writing has academic credibility and personal appeal. If that sounds unlikely, it is. Only a writer as good as Roberts could make it work-but work it does, as it proceeds to unravel Israel's paradoxical political identity., [Roberts's] writing has academic credibility and personal appeal. If that sounds unlikely, it is. Only a writer as good as Roberts could make it work--but work it does, as it proceeds to unravel Israel's paradoxical political identity., . . . Roberts provides an engaging introduction to the significance of collective memory in Israeli and Palestinian education, geography, and law. What results is a diverse anthology of the ways these divergent memories affect the current culture and conflict., [Roberts'?s] writing has academic credibility and personal appeal. If that sounds unlikely, it is. Only a writer as good as Roberts could make it work'?but work it does, as it proceeds to unravel Israel'?s paradoxical political identity., This remarkable book is, to my knowledge, the first detailed analysis of the oppression inflicted upon the Palestinians by the Israeli government ... that has been welcomed by Jewish organizations and prominent Jewish scholars., [Roberts's] writing has academic credibility and personal appeal. If that sounds unlikely, it is. Only a writer as good as Roberts could make it work--but work it does, as it proceeds to unravel Israel's paradoxical political identity. -- Embassy, In this moving, lyrical, and very important book, with some of the bravest and most honest of Israelis and Palestinians as guides, Roberts offers readers an intimate, often searing tour of the country'?s psychological landscape., This compelling and compassionate book offers fresh insight into how these divergent histories reverberate in Israel today, examining how selective memories of suffering that exclude the 'other' impede reconciliation and a just peace. -- Mubarak Awad, founder, Palestinian Center for the Study of Nonviolence, [A] beautifully written book '?¦ Jo Roberts captures the voices of Jewish and Palestinian Israelis in all their diversity, pain, and eloquence., [A] beautifully written book ... Jo Roberts captures the voices of Jewish and Palestinian Israelis in all their diversity, pain, and eloquence. -- Professor Michael Rothberg, director of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Memory Studies Initiative at the University of Illinois, This compelling and compassionate book offers fresh insight into how these divergent histories reverberate in Israel today, examining how selective memories of suffering that exclude the '?other'? impede reconciliation and a just peace., This compelling and compassionate book offers fresh insight into how these divergent histories reverberate in Israel today, examining how selective memories of suffering that exclude the 'other' impede reconciliation and a just peace., [T]his nuanced, empathic, and knowledgeable book is an important read for supporters of [both Israelis and Palestinians], and for people seeking a book through which to enter the charged field of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict., "[A] beautifully written book ...

It also shatters the assumed periodization of this conflict as originating in 1967 and highlights instead how the 1948 war and a Zionist ideology of ethnic nationalism contributed to this conflict., In this moving, lyrical, and very important book, with some of the bravest and most honest of Israelis and Palestinians as guides, Roberts offers readers an intimate, often searing tour of the country'e(tm)s psychological landscape., Writers have used collective memory to explore the history of groups besides Israelis and Palestinians, but Contested Land, Contested Memorydistinguishes itself on several counts. First, Roberts' fine writing makes the discourse of collective memory more accessible than many other books do. And because the catastrophes that concern her happened fairly recently, Roberts is able to use the memories of actual Palestinian and Jewish Israelis to frame her subject matter., Roberts's formal arguments have a lapidary quality that makes them appear nearly self-evident. I thought more than once, "I knew that. She's got that just right, and I couldn't say it better.", [Roberts'e(tm)s] writing has academic credibility and personal appeal. If that sounds unlikely, it is. Only a writer as good as Roberts could make it work'e"but work it does, as it proceeds to unravel Israel'e(tm)s paradoxical political identity.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
