- Summary:
- This book examines the influence of exposure to political violence on the psychological, social and familial functioning of adolescents aged 14-18 from Israel and from Palestine. The authors research provides powerful, self-reported data of how youth evaluate a variety of phenomena: their psychological functioning, their family's economic status, their family's functioning, and their experiences of domestic, political, and school violence. The authors highlight differences and similarities between four groups of young people: between Israeli and Palestinian youth, between Palestinian adolescents in the West Bank and Gaza, between Palestinians within Israel and from other areas, and between Jewish-Israelis and Arab-Israelis.
