Bridges Across an Impossible Divide: The Inner Lives of Arab

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gopin, Marc, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Peace ong>betweenong> Arabs ong>anong>d Jews seems forever out of reach, both sides caught in a never-ending cycle of violence ong>anong>d revenge. But while treaties ong>anong>d oong>theong>r top-down solutions have had little lasting effect, peacemakers on ong>theong> ground are creating real chong>anong>ge--within ong>theong>mselves ong>anong>d with ong>theong>ir enemies. In Bridges across ong>anong> Impossible Divide, Americong>anong> professor ong>anong>d Rabbi Marc Gopin offers ong>anong> unprecedented exploration of ong>theong> spiritual lives of Arab ong>anong>d Jewish peacemakers who have evolved deep friendships despite decades of war ong>anong>d suffering on all sides. ong>Theong> peacemakers included in this book have little or no formal training in conflict resolution or diplomacy, however through trial ong>anong>d error ong>theong>y have devised ong>theong>ir own unique methods of looking inward ong>anong>d reaching out across enemy ong>linesong>. Gopin provides insightful ong>anong>alysis of ong>theong> lessons to be learned from ong>theong>se peace builders, outlining ong>theong> characteristics that make ong>theong>m successful. He argues that lasting conflict ong>anong>d misery ong>betweenong> enemies is ong>theong> result of ong>anong> emotional, cognitive, ong>anong>d ethical failure to self-examine, ong>anong>d that ong>theong> true trong>anong>sformation of a troubled society is brought about by ong>theong> spiritual introspection of extraordinary, determined individuals. ong>Theong> book is unique in that its central body is ong>theong> actual words of peacemakers ong>theong>mselves as ong>theong>y speak of ong>theong>ir struggles to overcome ong>theong> death of loved ones ong>anong>d to find common ground with adversaries. Most of ong>theong>se accounts are from peacemakers who have hardly written before. This is a treasure trove for scholars ong>anong>d ong>theong> general public who seek to understong>anong>d ong>theong> conflict ong>anong>d its peacemakers at a far deeper level. ong>Theong>se remarkable stories reveal a level of inner examination that is rarely encountered in ong>theong> literature of political science, international relations, or even conflict resolution ong>theong>ory. ong>Theong>y show how building friendships invigorates ong>theong> effort to bring equality, nonviolent social chong>anong>ge, ong>anong>d reconciliation to warring peoples. Bridges across ong>anong> Impossible Divide takes readers beyond ong>theong> rhetoric of political leaders into ong>theong> spiritual lives of men ong>anong>d women actually making peace with ong>theong>ir enemies.
