Review Quotes:
"A searching and timely deconstruction of the power of words. This book navigates the complex terrain of perspectival framings of Israeli-Palestinian relations" --Tami Amanda Jacoby, University of Manitoba, Canada
"The Israel-Palestine conflict has never been confined to physical battlefields - even less so today, amid proliferating attempts to stifle popular and scholarly discourse and progressive awareness. Based on objective truths and sound methodology, this volume pushes back against the reactionary to contribute to advancing discursive paths toward a just peace." --Marda Dunsky Author, Stories from Palestine: Narratives of Resilience
