Opis

Neve Shalmon/Wahat Al-Salam (the Hebrew and Arabic words for oasis of peace) is a community founded by Jews and Palestinians that is aimed at demonstrating the possibilities for living in peace while maintaining their respective cultural heritages and languages. The village schools represent a unique educational experience: an opportunity for Jewish and Palestinian children to learn together in a Hebrew-Arabic bilingual, bicultural, binational setting. This book, a result of the author's eight year study of the schools in the village, explores the psychological and social dimensions of this educational endeavour.
