Rezensionen

'This book offers extraordinary insights into how long-term, embedded peacemakers make sense of what a just peace requires in the Palestinian-Israeli landscape. These Dialogues open a portal into the experience of how narratives emerge and respond to a context of cross-generational loss, exasperation, and lived madness. A must read if we are to better understand both the challenge and hope for descriptions and prescriptions about the peace process.'

John Paul Lederach, Professor Emeritus of International Peacebuilding, University of Notre Dame

'Prof. Hostetter offers us, for the first time, a synthesis of activism and scholarship in the search for peace and reconciliation between Israel and the

Palestinians. The most progressive voices are juxtaposed in this excellent book and offer food for thought for anyone wishing to bring peace and justice to historical Palestine. This the first time that these progressive voices make a synergic appearance in this incredible book.'

Ilan Pappe, Professor in the College of Social Sciences and International Studies, University of Exeter (U.K.), Director of the European Centre for Palestine Studies, and co-director of the Exeter Centre for Ethno-Political Studies

'Peacemakers in Israel-Palestine is a wonderful ethnography of Israeli and Palestinian peacemakers and a much-needed and illuminating contribution to the literature on . . . Track Two diplomacy and the still unrealized potential it contains for nonviolent transformative change. These voices are essential and must continue to be heard.'

Sara Roy, Senior Research Scholar, Center for Middle Eastern Studies, Harvard University, USA

'Dr. Hostetter's book, Peacemakers in Israel-Palestine, is a well written and well-researched contribution to the study of peacemaking in general and to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in particular. Of special interest is the way Hostetter has brought the conflict to life by allowing Israeli and Palestinian peacemakers to speak in their own voices, thereby revealing the complexity, variety and richness of their experiences. I highly recommend it.'
