| Summary: | Marc Gopin, a scholar who has labored in the vineyards of peacemaking for twenty-seven years and published several volumes that bridge theory and praxis, suggests that theory should be learned from those who “crawl out of the hell of cyclical rage and revenge and into the mysterious region of peace building, reconciliation, and the achievement of justice. … The peacemaker/victims are our teachers, and we theory-builders are merely translators” (p. 9). This book is a companion volume to the Unusual Pairs film project that records the reflections of Arabs and Jews who are working for peace in the Middle East (www.zejmedia.com/video-playlists/unusual-pairs-clips). |
