The history of Jerusalem as traditionally depicted is the
quintessential history of conflict and strife, of ethnic tension,
and of incompatible national narratives and visions. It is also a
history of dramatic changes and moments, one of the most radical
ones being the replacement of the Ottoman regime with British rule
in December 1917. From Empire to Empire challenges these two major
dichotomies, ethnic and temporal, which shaped the history of
Jerusalem and its inhabitants. It links the experiences of two
ethnic communities living in Palestine, Jews and Arabs, as well as
bridging two historical periods, the Ottoman and British
administrations. Drawing upon a variety of sources, Jacobson
demonstrates how political and social alliances are dynamic,
context-dependent, and purpose-driven. She also highlights the
critical role of foreign intervention, governmental and
nongovernmental, in forming local political alliances and in
shaping the political reality of Palestine during the crisis of
World War I and the transition between regimes. From Empire to
Empire offers a vital new perspective on the way World War I has
been traditionally studied in the Palestinian context. It also
examines the effects of war on the socioeconomic sphere of a mixed
city in crisis and looks into the ways the war, as well as Ottoman
policies and administrators, affected the ways people perceived the
Ottoman Empire and their location within it. From Empire to Empire
illuminates the complex and delicate relations between ethnic and
national groups and offers a different lens through which the
history of Jerusalem can be seen: it proposes not only a story of
conflict but also of intercommunal contacts and cooperation.
