Description
Book SynopsisA political, social, cultural, and economic portrait of a city at the centre of the Middle East peace negotiations. This work discusses Jerusalem's administration and demography, urban planning and housing, its three religious communities, and the role of the international community in Jerusalem.
Trade ReviewThe Politics of Jerusalem Since 1967 is, in fact, about much more than politics: it is particularly valuable for its treatment of demography, planning, housing, and services-important but hitherto unstudied subjects. Dumper is cool and fair-minded in his analysis of British, Israeli, Jordanian, Palestinian, and international policies concerning the Holy City. This book should be required reading for anyone concerned with or involved in the Arab-Israeli peace process. I know of no other study that throws more light on the complex and central issue of Jerusalem. -- Michael C. Hudson, Georgetown University
