As advisor to Prime Minister Ehud Barak at the 2000 Camp David Summit, I can testify that this was the main reason why the talks failed. This book by two excellent scholars is an excellent introduction for anyone who wants a deep understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and what is happening politically on the ground in Jerusalem.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMoshe Amirav, The Hebrew University Jerusalem\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Jerusalem introduces the city as a battleground where the usual conflicts over land and housing cannot be separated from contested citizenship of residents and broad issues of class and ethnic inequality that appear most concretely at the local scale. Jerusalem is at the same time a neoliberal city, a divided city, and a postcolonial city, and Shlay and Rosen skillfully show how the theories associated with each of these depictions can be used to interpret its development.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Logan, Brown University\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eFigures and Tables vi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments viii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMap of Central Jerusalem x\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Introduction: The Politics of Space 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 The Jerusalem Story: Theory and Methods 18\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 What Is Jerusalem? 40\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Who Is Jerusalem? 89\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 The Palestinian Challenge and Resistance in Arab Jerusalem 137\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Downtown Place Making and Growth in Israeli Jerusalem 164\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Conclusion 185\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 195\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 197\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 211\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49404417278295,"sku":"9780745671048","price":15.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780745671048.jpg?v=1730486407","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/jerusalem-9780745671048","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
