This book shows how colonialism, far from being simply a fixture of the past as is often suggested, remains a crucial component of Palestinian and Israeli realities today. Abowd deftly illuminates everyday life under Israel’s long military occupation as it is defined by processes and conditions of \"\"apartness\"\" and separation as Palestinians are increasingly regulated and controlled. Abowd examines how both national communities are progressively divided by walls, checkpoints, and separate road networks in one of the most segregated cities in the world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing upon recent theories on racial politics, colonialism, and urban spatial dynamics, \u003cem\u003eColonial Jerusalem\u003c\/em\u003e analyzes the politics of myth, history, and memory across an urban landscape integral to the national cosmologies of both Palestinians and Israelis and meaningful to all communities.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Syracuse University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52570025820440,"sku":"9780815633488","price":22.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/colonial-jerusalem-the-spatial-construction-of-identity-and-difference-in-a-city-of-myth-1948-2012-hardback-9780815633488","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
