Synopsis

In this updated edition of a popular seller, Israeli scholar Reinhart extends her critique to the most recent chapter of this decades-old conflict, exploring the history of the contested region and portraying the barrier as a stark symbol of the conflict itself. She traces the development of the Security Barrier and Israel's new doctrine of """"|disengagement""""|, launched in response to a looming Palestinian-majority population. In this indispensable primer, Reinhart's searing insight illuminates the current conflict and suggests a path toward change.
