This book addresses the major generators of conflict and toleration
at shared holy places in Palestine and Israel. Examining the
religious, political and legal issues, the authors show how the
holy sites have been a focus of both conflict and cooperation
between different communities. Bringing together the views of a
diverse group of experts on the region, Holy Places in the
Israeli-Palestinian Conflict provides a new and multifaceted
approach to holy places, giving an in-depth analysis of relevant
issues. Themes covered include legal regulation of holy places;
nationalization and reproduction of holy space; sharing and
contesting holy places; identity politics; and popular legends of
holy sites. Chapters cover in detail how recognition and
authorization of a new site come about; the influence of religious
belief versus political ideology on the designation of holy places;
the centrality of such areas to the surrounding political
developments; and how historical background and culture affect the
perception of a holy site and relations between conflicting groups.
This new approach to the study of holy places and the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict has great significance for a variety
of disciplines, and will be of great interest in the fields of law,
politics, religious studies, anthropology and sociology.
