  • The Space of Contested Jerusalem the Middle East, Has Been a City of Quarters
    The Space of Jerusalem is regarded as one of the classic divided cities,1 contested by two peoples, Contested separated by ethnicity, nationality, language Jerusalem and religion, with concrete and visible fissures embedded in the urban fabric. The Wendy Pullan terminology is widely used, by the Conflict in Cities research team as much as anyone else; nonetheless, the complexity of a city like Jerusalem increasingly calls to question the term ‘divided’, with its implied sense of clearly separated sections or two halves roughly equal to each other.2 With respect to Jerusalem, what do we really mean by divided? And if it is a divided city, what form does this take today, for clearly Jerusalem is not the same city that it was in 1967. Over forty years of occupation have produced a situation where the Israelis and Palestinians do not have equal rights and opportunities, and confusion and shifting policies underlie the way the Entrance to the tunnel under the Hebrew city has changed over time.

Source: Conflict in Cities. spatial qualities that characterise and differentiate the Palestinian and Israeli sectors. Significant historical residues are still in play in Jerusalem today, yet, much of what is understood as the city’s current urban space has been shaped by the conflict, and conversely, also impacts upon it. It would be fair to say that today the spaces which Israelis and Palestinians inhabit in Jerusalem are radically different from each other, although the divisions between them are not always simple or obvious.

  • My Aunt's Mamilla
    My father’s eldest sister has always served in My Aunt’s Mamilla my mind as a potential family encyclopedia. Helga Tawil-Souri “Potential” because I never had the opportunity to spend much time with her. She had come and visited us in Beirut once in the mid 1970s – I vaguely remember. My grandmother, with whom I spent much of my childhood, would often mention Auntie M. under a nostalgic haze, perhaps regret, that her first-born was so far away. That longing tone for her eldest led my other aunts, my father, and my uncles to joke that Auntie M. was their mother’s favorite. For years Auntie M. endured only in my imagination. Whatever tidbits I had caught about her were extraordinary, a fusion of new world mystery and old world obscurity. She lived in faraway places that sounded utterly exotic: Sao Paolo, Etobicoke, Toronto; that they always rhymed only added to their enigma. The haphazard trail I constructed of her life seemed improbable too: old enough to remember family life in Jerusalem; married and sent off to Brazil; had a daughter ten years older than me who didn’t speak Arabic. Auntie M. hovered behind a veil of unanswered questions: How old was she? Did my grandparents marry her off or did she choose to wed Uncle A.? How is one “sent” to Brazil? Could one even fly to Brazil back then? Did she flee with the family to Lebanon first? Did she really have another daughter besides the one I knew of? What happened to the other daughter? How did Auntie M.

  • Jerusalem Between Segregation and Integration: Reading Urban Space Through the Eyes of Justice Gad Frumkin
    chapter 8 Jerusalem between Segregation and Integration: Reading Urban Space through the Eyes of Justice Gad Frumkin Y. Wallach Introduction Jerusalem is seen as an archetypal example of a divided city, where extreme ethno-national polarization is deep rooted in a long history of segregation. In this chapter I challenge this perception by re-examining urban dynamics of late Ottoman and British Mandate Jerusalem, while questioning the manner in which urban segregation is theorized and understood. In the past few decades, there has been a reinvigorated scholarly discus- sion of urban segregation, driven by the challenges of difference and diversity.1 Entrenched segregation between different groups (defined by race, ethnicity, religion or class), or the “parallel lives” of different communities, living side by side with little contact, are seen to undermine the multicultural model of the late twentieth century. At the same time, mechanistic models of integration through urban mixing are increasingly challenged, and it is no longer accepted as evident that segregation is always undesirable. Nor is it obvious that everyday contact between different communities necessarily helps to engender greater understanding and dialogue. Scholars have been debating how to locate the discussion of urban encounter and segregation in the lived experience of the city. Writing on this topic suffers from the idealization of urban cosmopoli- tanism, on the one hand, or, conversely, describing segregation in overdeter- mined terms. To avoid this double pitfall, closer attention to the historical and spatial context is necessary, as well as close examination of socioeconomic real- ities. One suggestion, that I follow in this chapter, is to focus on life histories.2 By 1 This chapter forms part of ‘Conflict in Cities and the Contested Stated’ project, funded by the esrc’s Large Grants Programme (res-060-25-0015).

  • Grapevine: Happy 80Th Anniversary!
    June 22, 2013 Saturday 14 Tammuz 5773 16:40 IST Grapevine: Happy 80th Anniversary! By GREER FAY CASHMAN 29/11/2012 The fact that 'The Jerusalem Post' is still going strong after 80 years is a tribute to his vision, especially because it is an English-language paper in a mostly Hebrew- speaking country. Photo by: Jerusalem Post Archives Tomorrow, December 1, marks the 80th anniversary of the founding of The Jerusalem Post by Gershon Agron, who later went on to become the mayor of Jerusalem. Beit Agron, on the capital’s Hillel Street, was named for him, as was nearby Agron Street. Beit Agron was once the hub of journalism, housing the Government Press Office, a branch of the Army Spokesman’s Office, bureaus of numerous foreign media agencies and outlets and the Jerusalem Journalists’ Association. It used to have a restaurant and bar where local and foreign journalists rubbed shoulders and traded stories, and there was always an aura of anticipation and excitement. But then things changed. As print media started to go downhill, many major newspapers began cutting down on their foreign bureaus and began relying more on wire services or a feed from some local source, which was not quite the same as getting the perspective of their own representative who had a special rapport with his or her editor. Those media outlets that remained either chose to work out of Jerusalem Capital Studios or moved their offices to Malha, the new Mecca of the media. The GPO recently followed suit. In 2009, Dion Nissenbaum, the McClatchy bureau chief in Kabul, writing in his agency’s Checkpoint Jerusalem blog, recalled that at one time, “the fourth floor of Beit Agron was coveted real estate.

After the departure of Seeking Refuge: the British forces before noon on Jerusalem Municipality 14 May, we were surprised by the attack of the Jewish forces. We in 1948 left the municipal offices and the bullets all over the city and entered Haneen Naamneh the walls [of the city]. We found on the morning of 15 May that while being inside the walls, the enemy had surrounded us, and bombs were falling everywhere.1 On 26 December 1950 al-Difa‘ newspaper published extracts of a “Detailed report of Jerusalem Municipality’s work after the termination of the mandate,” which was authored by Anton Safieh, a senior employee of Jerusalem Municipality during the British and the Jordanian rule. Al-Difa‘ added the sub-headings: “Facts and figures demonstrate the difficulties it [the municipality] encountered and the valuable tasks it undertook”; “The difficult period that followed the departure of the Mandate government”; “The remnants of the municipality and its finances”; “Gradual restitution of life to normal.” Between mid-May and late November 1948 a municipal council composed of senior Palestinian administrative employees led by Safieh undertook the municipal tasks in Jerusalem after the city’s administrative center fell under the control of the Zionist forces.

About the Research This book reviews the struggle for hegemony in Jerusalem between secular and ultra-orthodox (haredi) Jews. It examines the democratic deficit in urban politics formed by the rise of the haredi minority to power, and proposes ways to rectify this deficit. The study addresses the following questions: What are the characteristics of the urban democratic deficit? How did the haredi minority become a leading political force in the city? What are the implications of the democratic deficit from the perspective of the various cultural groups? What can be done in view of the fact that the non-haredi population is not only under-represented but also feels threatened and prejudiced by urban politics initiated by the city council? About the Floersheimer Institute for Policy Studies In recent years the importance of policy-oriented research has been increasingly acknowledged. Dr. Stephen H. Floersheimer initiated the establishment of a research institute that would concentrate on studies of long- range policy issues.
