Negotiating Jerusalem (SUNY series in Israeli Studies) - Tapa dura

"...this is an impressive and valuable study of Israeli and Palestinian perceptions of Jerusalem." -- CHOICE

"A refreshing approach to the complex issue of negotiating a Palestinian-Israeli settlement over the question of Jerusalem. Basing himself on separate studies of Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs done with his coauthors, Segal shows perceptively that there is in fact more overlap between the attitudes of the two sides than is generally believed--and therefore more room for negotiating this issue. This book is neither polemical nor partisan, although it makes a point which is disputed by many. It does so by relying on solid survey research, and by disaggregating a question which is normally treated as a single unit. It should make a lot of waves." -- Rashid Khalidi, author of The Origins of Arab Nationalism

"The issue of Jerusalem is of decisive importance for Middle East peace. No polling data with anything like the sophistication present in this book has ever been available on this subject." -- Ian S. Lustick, author of Unsettled States, Disputed Lands: Britain and Ireland, France and Algeria, Israel and the West Bank-Gaza
