Mahmoud Darwish: Palestine's Poet and the Other as the Beloved focuses on Palestinian national poet Mahmoud Darwish (1941-2008), whose poetry has helped to shape Palestinian identity and foster Palestinian culture through many decades of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Dalya Cohen-Mor explores the poet's romantic relationship with "Rita," an Israeli Jewish woman whom he had met in Haifa in his early twenties and to whom he had dedicated a series of love poems and prose passages, among them the iconic poem "Rita and the Gun." Interwoven with biographical details and diverse documentary materials, this exploration reveals a fascinating facet in the poet's personality, his self-definition, and his attitude toward the Israeli other. Comprising a close reading of Darwish's love poems, coupled with many examples of novels and short stories from both Arabic and Hebrew fiction that deal with Arab-Jewish love stories, this book delves into the complexity of Arab-Jewish relations and shows how romance can blossom across ethno-religious lines and how politics all too often destroys it.

"Dalya Cohen-Mor's Mahmoud Darwish: Palestine's Poet and the Other as the Beloved is a fascinating book that explores the impossible love between the Palestinian national poet, Mahmoud Darwish and Tamar Ben-Ami, a Jewish girl within the obstacle-laden context of Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I do think that the book is a crucial contribution to the fields of sociology, anthropology, citizenship, nationality, acculturation and ethno-religious, cultural studies."
