Publisher Description: Safieh presents an enthralling compilation that expresses his love for humanity through essays, articles, and lectures. - Publishers Weekly These brilliant essays are essential reading for all who would seek to bridge the divide between Palestinians and Israelis.--Eugene RoganAfif Safieh is that rare combination of scholar, diplomat and humanist. There is much to be learned from reading his work--a compelling and principled call for examination and engagement.--Sara Roy Afif Safieh served as Palestinian General Delegate in London; Washington, DC; and Moscow from 1990 to 2009. During this time, he met and interacted with the leading figures of our age from Yasser Arafat, John Major, and Tony Blair to Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush, and Pope John Paul II. The Peace Process: From Breakthrough to Breakdown brings together Safieh's articles, lectures, and interviews spanning three decades, revealing the political and intellectual journey of one of Palestine's most skilled and distinguished diplomats. His writings center on the Palestinian struggle for independence and are a testament to his vision and humanity. Born in Jerusalem in 1950, Afif Safieh is the roving ambassador for special missions for the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Fatah deputy commissioner for international relations. He served as head of mission in London; Washington, DC; and Moscow, as well as in the Holy See and the Netherlands. |
