Constructing a Jewish-Muslim narrative
2008 August 13
Writing for the Common Ground News Service, Jan Hjärpe elaborates on the necessity and benefits of constructing an effective Jewish-Muslim narrative. First, he says, the groups must recognize the “other.” From there, commonalities in both groups’ narratives can be explored, reclaimed and discussed. Finally, new narratives must be constructed, and Hjärpe points to the fruitful collaboration of conductor Daniel Barenboim and Edward Said as evidence of the possibility of such innovation.
