This is an historical and ethnographic account of the 20th-century
struggle for Jerusalem. The volume examines how Jerusalem is doubly
divided, on the one hand between Israelis and Palestinians, each of
whom ground their national identities in the city, as well as
within each nation between those who put primacy in the democratic
decisions of their nations and those who would yield to a higher
divine law. Professors Friedland and Hecht explore how Jerusalem
has figured as a battleground in conflicts over 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 study of the intertwining
of religion and politics, exploring the city as simultaneously an
ordinary place and an extraordinary symbol.
