The Peace Process: From Breakthrough to Breakdown

Former Palestinian General Delegate in London, Washington, and Moscow, Safieh presents an enthralling compellation that expresses his love for humanity through essays, articles, and lectures. Safieh works avidly to sort out Palestine's current political issues by retracing events of decades past, which seem to reveal the origin of the conflict. "Palestine," Safieh believes, better describes the people who reside there than a geographic location. Palestinian natives have been uprooted and relocated in order to make room for refugees who have been refused entry into other lands, pitting natives and refugees against each other for the right to have a home. Safieh, a world-renowned public speaker specializing in human rights, uses his first book to reveal how ethnic groups, citizens, and even entire nations have fallen victim to the decisions of governments worldwide. His intense and in-depth consideration fosters understanding not just of the root of Palestine's problems, but also the depth of the suffering of those who call it home. Photos. (Apr.)
