Surviving the Story
The Narrative Trap in Israel and Palestine
Rosemary Hollis
In Surviving the Story, political scientist Rosemary Hollis examines the role of group and national narratives in driving conflict. Her study is based on a unique survey conducted with Israeli and Palestinian university graduates who enrolled on the Olive Tree programme at City, University of London, between 2004 and 2016.
Dr Hollis’s findings pose important questions for those involved in conflict and its mediation. For protagonists, dialogue with the enemy can alert them to the role of narratives in driving them and the conflict. For what Dr Hollis calls ‘the peace business’, there are valuable insights and cautionary tales.
“Talking to the enemy and connecting between parallel universes is not only worthwhile but necessary.”
