Abstract

from more detail on these refugees, many of whom have experienced multiple displacements since 1948. This omission, however, does not take away from the sterling quality and achievement of the overall work. As a book "written for readers who know that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is important, but who do not know much about it" (p. 4) and as a call to action towards a just peace in Palestine, Understanding Israel/ Palestine not only meets but exceeds its goals. Spangler's rigorous scholarship, years of experience and carefully considered, thorough, and convincing arguments result in a vital resource for experts and nonexperts alike.
