    Textbooks
    On 29 January 2002, the Center for Monitoring the Impact of Peace issued a detailed response to Nathan J. Brown's paper, Democracy, History, and the Contest over the Palestinian Curriculum (PDF) that he had presented at the Adam Institute two months earlier.  The CMIP response is entitled The Anti-Peace Orientation of Palestinian Textbooks. Professor Brown wrote a detailed rejoinder to that response, in which he showed how the CMIP misquoted itself, claimed it had not made statements that it indeed made, omitted critical information, and consistently and severely misled its readers. CMIP did respond to this critique and Professor Brown responded. Since that exchange, CMIP has criticized Brown's work on several grounds, both personal and methodological.  A letter to UNRWA sparked a correspondence between CMIP and him.
