Reapproaching borders : new perspectives on the study of Israel-Palestine

"Territorial borders, identity borders, and many other kinds of social and cultural borders are constantly questioned in Israel-Palestine. Reapproaching Borders: New Perspectives on the Study of Israel-Palestine explores the concept of borders and how they are imagined and actualized in this deeply contested land. The book focuses on the "implicate relations" between Palestinian Arabs and Jews, providing new insights into the origins and dynamics of the conflicts between them."--Jacket
