商品簡介
Scholars from the fields of literature, history, political science, and sociology share new insights on the Arab-Israeli conflict. They examine how events in the region since the 1940s have affected Israel and Palestinian concepts of identity on both sides of the cease-fire lines of 1949 and in exile communities in the region and abroad. They interweave historical documents, public opinion surveys, film, fiction, and poetry to reveal the extent to which politics and history inform the Israeli and Palestinian literary imagination. Concludes with a roundtable discussion. Material is drawn from papers and discussions at an April 1997 conference. Abdel-Malek is professor of Arabic and Islamic studies at the University of Alberta, Canada. Jacobson is professor of Judaic studies at Brown University. Annotation c.
