the intention of listening to a broad spectrum of

with this peace
effort those that go to listen and those they listen
to construct

narrative illuminates
the experiences of those involved with this project,
revealing how
ordinary citizens grapple with the complexities and
contradictions
that arise in ethnic and identity-based conflicts,
particularly as
related to themes of reconciliation, justice and
coexistence.
Focused on the period marked by the disintegration
of the peace
process and the outbreak of the Second Intifada
(1999-2000), it
provides insight about a range of citizen attitudes,
assumptions,
beliefs and expectations leading up to the collapse.
