Creating peace for a city's intimate enemies is harder than making
war. This book is about the trajectories of urban conflict and
peace in the politically polarized cities of Jerusalem and Belfast
since 1994 - how sometimes there has been hopeful change while at
other times debilitating stasis and regression. Based on extensive
research, fieldwork, and interviews, Scott Bollens shows how
seeking peace in these cities is shaped by the interaction of
city-based actors and national elites, and that it is not just a
political process, but a social and spatial one that takes place
problematically over an extended period. He intertwines academic
precision with ethnography and personal narrative to illuminate the
complex political and emotional kaleidoscopes of these polarized
cities. With hostility and competition among groups defined by
ethnic, religious, and nationalistic identity on the increase
across the world, this timely investigation contributes to our
understanding of today's fractured cities and nations.
