This book is designed to introduce American readers to the terms of the discussion of a two-state solution. It features essays by well-known Israeli academics, both Jewish and Palestinian, as well as contributions from non-Israeli citizen Palestinian, and American scholars. It is the first to bring together a wide-range of views and perspectives by influential scholars from various disciplines as well as from activists to bear on a very topical subject with international ramifications.
