Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The History Of Jerusalem As Traditionally Depicted Is The Quintessential History Of Conflict And Strife, Of Ethnic Tension, And Of Incompatible National Narratives And Visions. It Is Also A History Of Dramatic Changes And Moments, One Of The Most Radical Ones Being The Replacement Of The Ottoman Regime With British Rule In December 1917. From Empire To Empire Challenges These Two Major Dichotomies, Ethnic And Temporal, Which Shaped The History Of Jerusalem And Its Inhabitants. It Links The Experiences Of Two Ethnic Communities Living In Palestine, Jews And Arabs, As Well As Bridging Two Historical Periods, The Ottoman And British Administrations. Drawing Upon A Variety Of Sources, Jacobson Demonstrates How Political And Social Alliances Are Dynamic, Contextdependent, And Purposedriven. She Also Highlights The Critical Role Of Foreign Intervention, Governmental And Nongovernmental, In Forming Local Political Alliances And In Shaping The Political Reality Of Palestine During The Crisis Of World War I And The Transition Between Regimes. From Empire To Empire Offers A Vital New Perspective On The Way World War I Has Been Traditionally Studied In The Palestinian Context. It Also Examines The Effects Of War On The Socioeconomic Sphere Of A Mixed City In Crisis And Looks Into The Ways The War, As Well As Ottoman Policies And Administrators, Affected The Ways People Perceived The Ottoman Empire And Their Location Within It. From Empire To Empire Illuminates The Complex And Delicate Relations Between Ethnic And National Groups And Offers A Different Lens Through Which The History Of Jerusalem Can Be Seen: It Proposes Not Only A Story Of Conflict But Also Of Intercommunal Contacts And Cooperation.
