Summary
"This book is a groundbreaking and comprehensive effort to step outside the modern Judeocentric view of Palestine by revisiting its history from a range of perspectives - Arab, Israeli, European, and American - that challenge any attempt to stake an exclusive claim to the city of Jerusalem and that examine the multilayered complexities of its problems by situating any discussion of rights and policies within a history of several thousand years, rather than a few decades. Through personal accounts, historical documents, and poetry as well as political analyses, its contributors illuminate the multiplicity of historical realities as well as the difficulties of current policies regarding this ancient home of the human race."--BOOK JACKET.
