Short /annotation:
This book analyses the impacts and responses to twenty-five years of “peace” between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization. It focuses on understanding the various political economies that have emerged and how different communities have developed distinct coping strategies as well as new forms of political expression and mobilization.

:
From the River to the Sea: Palestine and Israel in the Shadow of ‘Peace’ provides original analyses of how different coping strategies were developed as well as new forms of political expression, interaction, and mobilization since the 1993 peace deal between the Palestine Liberation Organization and Israel. Its premise is that an historical realism is essential in order to develop a route out of the post-Oslo impasse that extended and solidified the power imbalance under the auspices of ‘peace’. The book includes chapters from experts across the disciplines of anthropology, economics, law, political science and sociology to map out and critically assess the impacts and responses to this ‘peace’ in different geographical and political settings. These innovative analyses also investigate processes that might enable a future to be built based on greater equality and an end to the oppression and violence that currently exists between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea (and beyond).

From the River to the Sea examines the current context of various communities in Israel/Palestine more than twenty-five years after the Oslo Accords.

Review quote:
From the River to the Sea is a rigorously analytical work that focuses on key aspects of what has happened to Palestinians over the past quarter of a century, especially those living under Israeli occupation.

Review quote:
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 insi
