"Theologian, philosopher, and political radical Martin Buber (1878-1965) was actively committed to a fundamental economic and political reconstruction of society as well as the pursuit of international peace. This new edition of A Land of Two Peoples collects some of Buber's voluminous writings on Arab-Jewish relations in Palestine. The private and open letters, addresses, and essays in this volume unite Buber's religious and philosophical teachings with his politics, which he felt were essential to a life of public dialogue and service to God. A committed Zionist, Buber steadfastly articulated the moral necessity for reconciliation and accommodation between the Arabs and Jews. The writings collected here are unified in Buber's call for binationalism as a solution to the conflict in the Middle East. From the Balfour Declaration of November 1917 to his death in 1965, he campaigned passionately for a "one state solution." This timely reprint, which includes new forewords by Paul Mendes-Flohr and Raef Zreik, offers context and depth to current affairs in Israel and Palestine"--
