Joanna Chen, Newsweek, Aug. 13, 2007 issue. Together with Dan Bar-On, a social psychologist at Ben Gurion University in southern Israel, Sami Adwan now codirects the Peace Research Institute in the Middle East (PRIME). Since 2002 the group has produced three booklets for use in Palestinian and Israeli high schools that force each side to confront a contradictory vision of history. Each page is divided into three: the Palestinian and Israeli narratives and a third section left blank for the pupil to fill in. "The idea is not to legitimize or accept the other's narrative but to recognize it," Adwan says. "The [historical] dates may be the same, but the interpretation of each side is very different."
