Beschreibung:
A passionate yet reasoned ethnography of an extraordinary village and its unique bilingual, bicultural educational institutions, Oasis of Dreams draws the reader into the complex journey of Jews and Palestinians who are trying to break down barriers of fear and mistrust that have saturated their daily existence. In this spiritually uplifting book, Feuerverger shares narrative portraits of some remarkable individuals and invites us to become fellow dreamers of peace. Whoever reads this book will never look at the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the same way again.
