In these essays, most written for Arab and European newspapers, Said uncovers the political mechanism that advertises reconciliation in the Middle East while keeping peace out of the picture. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSaid argues that the imbalance in power that forces Palestinians and Arab states to accept the concessions of the United States and Israel prohibits real negotiations and promotes the second-class treatment of Palestinians. He documents what has really gone on in the occupied territories since the signing. He reports worsening conditions for the Palestinians, critiques Yasir Arafat's self-interested and oppressive leadership, denounces Israel's refusal to recognize Palestine's past, and--in essays new to this edition--addresses the resulting unrest.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"End of the Peace Process: Oslo and After | Edward W Said | Paperback | 9780375725746 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks A 1750443","offer_id":48882813239448,"sku":"1750443","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71ZE_J-4btL.jpg?v=1776446520","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/end-of-the-peace-process-oslo-and-after","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
