at www.luminosoa.org. Camera Palaestina is a critical exploration
of Jerusalemite chronicler Wasif Jawhariyyeh (1904-1972) and his
seven photography albums entitled The Illustrated History of
Palestine. Jawhariyyeh's nine hundred images narrate the rich
cultural and political milieu of Ottoman and Mandate Palestine.
Nassar, Sheehi, and Tamari locate this archive at the juncture
between the history of photography in the Arab world and the social
history of Palestine. Shedding new light on this foundational
period, the authors explore not just major historical events and
the development of an urban bourgeois lifestyle but a social field
of vision of Palestinian life as exemplified in the Jerusalem
community. Tracking the interplay between photographic images, the
authors offer evidence of the unbroken field of material,
historical, and collective experience from the living past to the
living present of Arab Palestine.
