Summary

"This work features a collection of essays regarding patterns of conflict, settlement, and political reconstruction in Palestine, Israel, and Iraq. The case studies in this volume represent the individual efforts of scholars to address issues underlying conflict in these troubled nations. The scholars debate that these issues constitute structural barriers to peace building, and their resolution is fundamental to a furtherance of social justice in the Middle East."--BOOK JACKET.
