Framing the Intifada

The intifada which began in December 1987 has become one of the longest running confrontations within the broad context of the Israeli-Arab conflict. This volume is not concerned with why the intifada phenomenon began how it developed or possible scenarios for the future. Rather it is about communication and the intifada: what people have been saying thinking and writing about the conflict and about the messages being produced by the mass media. The book is a collection of studies conducted mostly in Israel and some other Western countries.
