Description
Summary:	Daoudi and Barakat aim at confronting the Israeli and Palestinian constitutive clash of national historical narratives and their significance in shaping identities of "self" and "other" in the conflict and in constructing obstacles to conflict resolution. It looks into the historic junctions of decision making and appraises processes that left their imprint on collective memory and perceptions. They examine the most controversial central issues of the 1948 episode such as: The 'Arab Invading Armies' narrative, the 'Palestinian Exodus' narrative, and the conflicting narratives on Jerusalem.
