Very Good in Near Fine DJ: Book shows light wear to extremities; smudging at outside edge of page block; cloth-covered boards very slightly bowed; mild wear to upper front corner; binding square and secure; text clean. DJ shows mild rubbing; unclipped; mylar-protected. Remains close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder. NOT a Book-Club Edition. NOT an Ex-Library copy. 8vo. 400pp. Hardback with DJ. Until now we have known very little of the lives of ordinary Middle Eastern men and women despite extensive research on the modern Middle East. With this collection of essays the life stories of peasants villagers pastoralists and urbanites can finally be heard--no more will our view of the Middle East be seen only over the shoulders of the elite. These twenty-four biographies are drawn from the entire Middle East--from Morocco to Afghanistan--and provide vantage points from which to understand modern Middle Eastern history "from the bottom up." Spanning the past 150 years and reflecting important transformations the stories challenge elite-centered accounts of what has occurred in the Middle East and illuminate hidden corners of a largely unrecorded world. The essays divided chronologically provide a comprehensive framework for those unfamiliar with Middle Eastern social history. "Pre-Colonial Lives" covers the period from 1850 until World War I "Colonial Lives" chronicles the beginning of European rule and "Contemporary Lives" relates the massive changes of the postwar era. Through them we see how specific ecologies ways of life ethnic class and gender situations can shape individual human action. University of California Press, hardcover‎

‎Benvenisti Meron‎

‎City of Stone: The Hidden History of Jerusalem‎

‎Berkely: University of California Press 1996 Jerusalem is more than a holy city built of stone. Domain of Muslims Jews and Christians Jerusalem is a perpetual contest and its shrines housing projects and bulldozers compete in a scramble for possession. Now one of Jerusalem's most respected authorities presents a history of the city that does not fall prey to any one version of its past. Meron Benvenisti begins with a reflection on the 1996 celebration of Jerusalem's 3000-year anniversary as the capital of the Kingdom of Israel. He then juxtaposes eras dynasties and rulers in ways that provide grand comparative insights. But unlike recent politically motivated histories written to justify the claims of Jews and Arabs now living in Jerusalem Benvenisti has no such agenda. His history is a polyphonic story that lacks victors as well as vanquished. He describes the triumphs and defeats of all the city's residents from those who walk its streets today to the meddlesome ghosts who linger in its shadows. Benvenisti focuses primarily on the twentieth century but ancient hatreds are constantly discovered just below the surface. These hostilities have created intense social cultural and political interactions that Benvenisti weaves into a compelling human story. For him any claim to the city means recognizing its historical diversity and multiple populations. A native son of Jerusalem Benvenisti knows the city well and his integrated history makes clear that all of Jerusalem's citizens have enriched the Holy City in the past. It is his belief that they can also do so in the future. 274p. illus.index. 1st US Edition. Hardcover. New/New. University of California Press hardcover‎
