A sophisticated and engaging ethnographic account of the
Palestinian citizens of Israel, and the first since the 1970s,
Overlooking Nazareth examines specific situations of friction,
conflict and co-operation in Natzerat Illit. This Israeli new town
is built on formerly Palestinian land, just outside the biblical
town of Nazareth, and has a population of 25,000 Jewish Israelis
and 3,500 Palestinians. Dr Rabinowitz has written widely on the
current political situation in Israel and has conducted extensive
fieldwork in Galilee, and he describes his study as a guided walk
along a border, a sketch of interfaces 'where the complex, often
paradoxical aspects of the border situation are negotiated and
acted out most vividly'. He highlights the extent to which
anti-Palestinian sentiments for which the town is known actually
reflect widespread views of most Israelis. This is a major
contribution to our understanding of the confrontation between
Israelis and Palestinians. It offers powerful critique of reflexive
anthropology and offers fresh insights into notions of ethnicity
and identity, nationalism and liberalism.
