Much has been written about the religious and political
conflicts of contemporary Jerusalem--and about the harsh realities
of the intifada. But while analysts probe the violence in the
"reunited city," its residents must go about their daily affairs.
Focusing on the conduct of everyday life, rather than on ideology,
Living Together Separately provides a rare look at the complex
networks of practical relations developed by Jews and Arabs in over
two decades of Israeli control of the city. The work begins with a
brief historical review of Jerusalem as an Arab-Jewish city. Then,
combining the perspectives of urban geography and social
anthropology, it addresses a wide range of questions. How does the
use of urban space and urban systems reflect both segregation and
integration? How do ethnic identities influence interactions in
adjoining neighborhoods, in workplaces, and in a hospital? What
rules govern Arab-Jewish contacts in business, consumer, and
political settings? In the final chapter the authors evaluate the
Jerusalem situation in comparison with conditions in other deeply
divided cities and in light of the intifada. Long-time residents of
Jerusalem, Romann and Weingrod seek to grasp the variety of
day-to-day exchanges without preconceptions and from the viewpoints
of all participants. "Michael Romann and Alex Weingrod are my pick
to serve on a jury trying a very tangled case."--Fouad Ajami,
School of International Studies, The Johns Hopkins University
