"Richard Falk has been working within and studying the Israel/Palestine conflict for several decades. He offers a close analysis of one of the most controversial issues of our times. Falk explores the intricacies and interconnections within the history and politics of Israel and Palestine, while delving into the complicated relationships the conflict has created within the global community. He refutes the notion that the Palestinian struggle is a lost cause and offers new tactics and possibilities for change. He also puts the ongoing conflict in context, reflecting on the legacy of Edward Said and drawing on the importance of his ideas as a humanist model for peace that is mindful of the formidable difficulties that come with achieving a solution to the long struggle. One of the most established and authoritative voices on the conflict, Falk now presents his most sustained and focused historical overview to date. Richard Falk was the UN Special Rapporteur for Palestine between 2008-2014. He is Professor Emeritus of International Law at Princeton University. He is the author of Chaos and Counterrevolution: After the Arab Spring (2015)"--Provided by publisher.
