Marwan Hanania, H-Levant, Sept. 2009 "... [The book's] main contribution is to see the tension as historically produced and contingent, revealling the dynamic interplay between narratives of hegemony and resistence. The key issue is what and who is acknowledged or denied, and how stories are told and re-told, reified and contested, a problem which is at the heart of violence in the Middle East and North Africa." Human Rights and Human Welfare "For about 20 years, I have been teaching a course at Brandeis University called The Sociology of the IsraeliPalestinian Confrontation. As I began moving toward seeing conflicting narratives as a central issue, I looked for a book that would present the narratives issue clearly, directly, and compellingly. My search is over. The book is Robert Rotbergs edited collection that discusses the role of narratives in establishing legitimacy claims, presents varied Israeli and Palestinian narratives, and considers whether these narratives are reconcilable. Rotberg takes no stand on this final issue. He simply offers many views of it." Society "... an in-depth study of the Arab-Israeli conflict." Abdur Raheem Kidwai, Aligarh Muslim University, India, Muslim World Book Review, 29.3 2009
