Binational cities play a pivotal role in situations of long-term
conflict, and few places have been more marked by the tension
between intimate proximity and visceral hostility than Jaffa, one
of the "mixed towns" of Israel/Palestine. In this nuanced
ethnographic and historical study, Daniel Monterescu argues that
such places challenge our assumptions about cities and nationalism,
calling into question the Israeli state's policy of maintaining
homogeneous, segregated, and ethnically stable spaces. Analyzing
everyday interactions, life stories, and histories of violence, he
reveals the politics of gentrification and the circumstantial
coalitions that define the city. Drawing on key theorists in
anthropology, sociology, urban studies, and political science, he
outlines a new relational theory of sociality and spatiality.
