Press blurb:
Over the last eighty years there has been a global rise in 'peace
communication' practice, the use of interpersonal and mass communication
interventions to mediate between peoples engaged in political conflict. In
this study, Yael Warshel analyses Israeli and Palestinian versions of
Sesame Street which targeted negative inter-group attitudes and
stereotypes. Merging communication, peace and conflict studies, social
psychology, anthropology, political science, education, Middle Eastern and
childhood studies, this book provides a template to think about how
audiences receive, interpret, use and are influenced by peace
communication. By picking apart the text and subtext of the kind of media
these specific audiences of children consume, Warshel examines how they
interpret 'peace communication' interventions, are socialised into
Palestinians, Jewish Israelis and Arab/Palestinian Israelis, political
opinions they express, and violence they reproduce. She questions whether
peace communication practices have any relevant structural impact on their
audiences, why such interventions fail, and offers recommendations for
improving future communication interventions into political conflict
worldwide.
