In the midst of ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, civil war and political discord, courageous civilians from both sides are working together toward mutual understanding and peace. Israeli Jews and Arabs, and Palestinian Muslims and Christians, young and old, men and women, are cooperating in creative grassroots people-to-people projects, developing educational programmes, and enjoying activities to bridge their differences. The editor shows us the stories that receive so little world attention. In 39 captivating chapters, experts tell intriguing personal stories, interwoven with psychosocial models and principles describing how people living in hostile cultures can establish peace. This collection is the perfect companion to the editor's earlier book, "Terror in the Holy Land". In her new book, we come to know programmes including Seeds of Peace and Search for Common Ground, as well as lesser-heralded yet valiant efforts by children and adults of the region working together for peace. This and the earlier volume will be of interest to all people who care about peace, as well as students of social science, psychology, international study, public policy, cross-cultural relations and human rights.
