Twentieth-century Jerusalem is doubly divided. As well as being a
holy site for both Judaism and Islam, the city contains secular
Israelis and Palestinians who ground their respective national
identities within its borders. "To Rule Jerusalem" provides a
historical and ethnographic account of how Jerusalem has become the
battleground for conflicts both within and between the Israeli and
Palestinian communities. Roger Friedland and Richard Hecht examine
the relation between Zionism and Judaism and between Palestinian
nationalism and Islam. Based on hundreds of interviews with
powerful players and ordinary citizens over the course of a decade,
this book evokes the ways in which these conflicts are experienced
and managed in the life of the city. "To Rule Jerusalem" is a
compelling study of the intertwining of religion and politics,
exploring the city simultaneously as an ordinary place and an
extraordinary symbol.
