Jerusalem is one of the most contested urban spaces in the world.
It is a multicultural city, but one that is unlike other
multiethnic cities such as London, Toronto, Paris, or New York.
This book brings together scholars from across the social sciences
and the humanities to consider how different disciplinary theories
and methods contribute to the study of conflict and cooperation in
modern Jerusalem. Several essays in the book centre on political
decision-making; others focus on local and social issues. While
Jerusalem's centrality to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is
explored, the chapters also cover issues that are unevenly explored
in recent studies of the city. These include Jerusalem's diverse
communities of secular and orthodox Jewry and Christian
Palestinians; religious and political tourism and the ""heritage
managers"" of Jerusalem; the Israeli and Palestinian LGBT community
and its experiences in Jerusalem; and visual and textual
perspectives on Jerusalem, particularly in architecture and poetry.
Adelman and Elman argue that Jerusalem is not solely a place of
contention and violence, and that it should be seen as a physical
and demographic reality that must function for all its communities.
