History & Biography

“Bernard Sabella, a distinguished professor of sociology at Bethlehem University, has written a compelling memoir. He eloquently recounts his experiences amidst environments as varied as conflict-torn Jerusalem, a small Appalachian town, and the rarefied academic heights of Princeton. The reader is struck by his ability to extract profound insights from small and often contradictory events, by his love for the rich historical, religious, and cultural traditions of the Palestinian people, and by his belief in the power of education to shape understanding and, perhaps eventually, reconciliation between conflicting peoples.”
