"After-Words reflects the best tradition of the dialogic process; so lively is the exchange between its contributors that readers get drawn into the vortex of ideas and arguments, finding themselves wishing for the opportunity to join in the conversation and raise their own observations, dissents, and cautions."--Hubert G. Locke, University of Washington "The section on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is especially timely now. Insightful responses amplify and explore the extremely complex set of competing myths, ideologies, and national interests at stake here."--James E. Young, University of Massachusetts Amherst
