Reviews

Fearless and just in time, From the River to the Sea traces the structural and conceptual impact of the now twenty-five year old process known as Oslo. It is an unstinting journey that takes the reader from the triumph of the extreme right inside the green line to the perpetual state of crisis that is life in the Gaza Strip. With interdisciplinary innovation and empirical rigor, this volume is an exceptional cartography of the histories, spaces, subjectivities, and strategies of the Palestinians and Israelis who inhabit the land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. It gives us the tools both to understand the ongoing Nakba, or catastrophe, that is Palestinian reality, and to imagine an alternative future

This is a brave book on why a peace process was made to fail. Mandy Turner and her colleagues go beyond platitudes about peace to examine how the cards are stacked against a meaningful accord between Israel and Palestinians. The book is a timely reminder of the unforgiving politics that lies behind peacemaking. It is particularly good on how the language around ‘peace’ is manipulated and used to discipline Palestinians. This volume manages to combine razor-sharp analytical insights with case study material. It is highly recommended.
