Explores sharaf ('honour') as a social construct of Israeli-Palestinian society and how this key concept is linked to male emotion, identity, and action. This book illustrates how Palestinians have held onto and recreated indigenous political practices based on social norms and values of sharaf and reconciliation.
This book examines the Arabic conflict resolution method known as "sulha." In this process, notable male elders mediate conflicts between and within Arab communities. A lengthy process of political jockeying culminates in a ceremony that peaks when "enemies" shake hands and publicly forgive the crimes of the other. The reality of actual sulha deviates considerably from the ideal, but both the official framework and the actual events point to a deep seated valorization of peace and reconciliation in Israeli-Palestinian society.
