Rating:
Summary: REVIEW QUOTES
Review: Focusing on a tense and volatile region, these interviews provide a human perspective on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. They give an insider's view of the Intifada, the Israeli peace camp, and the Palestinian and Israeli women's peace movements up to and after the Gulf War. With power, insight and humor, these personal in-depth conversations allow U.S. readers to get beyond superficial headlines.

"If only every literate in the world would read VOICES FROM A 'PROMISED LAND', the desire for peace would begin to be a reality. We would no longer be eyeless in the Gaza, but would see the promise as a debt we owe to those who have gone before, and those who are yet to come." --Maya Angelou

"..at once heartening and discouraging-heartening because [it] points the way to a future in which Israelis and Palestinians can live in mutual respect and understanding, but discouraging because in doing so highlights just how far away from that point Israel's governing mainstream still is." --The Washington Post

"I highly recommend this book. It provides a vibrant glimpse of the people involved in day to day struggles for social justice and human dignity." --Joanna Kali, Sojourner
