Description
Jerusalem is one of the most contested urban spaces in the world. It is a multicultural city, but one that is unlike other multiethnic cities such as London, Toronto, Paris, or New York. This book brings together scholars from across the social sciences and the humanities to consider how different disciplinary theories and methods contribute to the study of conflict and cooperation in modern Jerusalem. Several essays in the book center on political decisionmaking; others focus on local and social issues. While Jerusalem’s centrality to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is explored, the chapters also cover issues that are unevenly explored in recent studies of the city.

Advance Praise
"Jerusalem provides both breadth and analytical depth to a multifaceted subject. Its inter-disciplinary and eclectic approach captures much of the complexity of the history, culture and politics of the city. At the same time, the strong introduction and judicious editing have woven together the wide-range of contributions into a coherent whole. This is a valuable addition to the growing literature on the holy city."—Michael Dumper, University of Exeter
"Jerusalem masterfully shows that Jerusalem will continue to be the key to peace and conflict resolution until Israelis and Palestinians figure out a way to either equitably share it, or to preserve it as a non-politicized city, a capital for all believers in God. The book rightly points to the dangers of religious fanaticism and highlights how political blindness and myopia are the city’s real enemies."—Ziad AbuZayyad, coeditor of Palestine-Israel Journal of Politics, Economics, and Culture
