Summary

Angelos Dalachanis, Vincent Lemire and thirty-five scholars depict the ordinary history of an extraordinary, global city in the late Ottoman and Mandate periods. The authors use largely unknown archives to revisit this holy city, which has often been seen as an eternal battlefield and studied under the prism of geopolitics and religions. At the core of their analysis are topics and issues developed in the European Research Council-funded project "Opening Jerusalem Archives: For a Connected History of Citadinité in the Holy City, 1840-1940" (led by Vincent Lemire), in which the concept of citadinité holds a central position. Borrowed from French, this concept signifies the dynamic identity relationship the city?s inhabitants had with each other and their urban environment.
