The Politics of Sacred Space: The Old City of Jerusalem in the Middle East Conflict Author: Michael Dumper No of pages: 185 Language: English Dimensions: 15.5X23.5 cm ISBN: 978-1-58826-226-4 Publishing House: Rienner |
|
| Sacred to three traditions, the Old City of Jerusalem is the Gordian knot at the centre of the Middle East conflict. This book explores how religious and political interests compete for control of this sacred space, and how that competition affects the Middle East peace process. Dumper analyses the religious dynamics in the Old City in political terms, investigating rivalries and tensions at three interrelated levels: among regional and international interests, among the Christian, Islamic, and Jewish establishments, and among sects and factions within the religions. A revealing portrait emerges of an ancient city in the context of contemporary change, central to the attainment of a lasting peace in the region. |

My Jerusalem Essays, Reminiscences, and Poems Author: Salma Khadra Jayyusi , Zafar Isbaq Ansari No of pages: 340 Language: English Dimensions: 15X23 cm ISBN: 1-56656-549-9 Publishing House: Olive Branch Press |
|
| Here is a passionate and eclectic collection of essays, poems, and scholarship that brings to life Jerusalem, that most enigmatic and compelling of cities, in its embattled, contemporary guise as well as in its ancient history. The book begins in the immediacy of today's Jerusalem--with its dispossessions and laws, its bloody conflicts and massive skyscrapers--and moves backward in time to Classical Jerusalem, working to disentangle the knots of the three great monotheistic religions, and finally comes to rest in a section that is a testament to the physical facts of Jerusalem: its monuments and alleys, its smells, its music, its people. Throughout it all, the Jerusalem that emerges is, as Mureed Barghouthy puts it, "the Jerusalem of the people," for it is the people who live or have lived there, who know the "Jerusalem of houses and cobbled streets and spice markets...of our neighbor the nun and her neighbor the "muezzin, who was always in a hurry." Tellingly, the anthology begins and ends with the words of poets: "I'm not interested in/Who suffered the most," writes Naomi Shihab Nye in the introductory poem. "I'm interested in/People getting over it" This book is about a beloved Jerusalem whose intricacies and human inventions are ultimately larger than the current conflict. |

Jerusalemites A Living Memory Author: Hazem Zaki Nusseibeh No of pages: 456 Language: English Dimensions: 14.5X21 cm Publishing House: Rimal Publications |
|
| Throughout Hazem Nusseibeh's long career as a senior politician and diplomat, the lure of Jerusalem, city of his birth, remained strong. In Jerusalemites, Dr. Nusseibeh tells of growing up in British Mandate Palestine and recalls pain inflicted on Palestinians by creation of Israel. He describes how he dedicated his professional life to service of Palestinian people and his goal of restoring their basic human rights. Dr. Nusseibeh also provides inside accounts of some major events in contemporary Arab and international history. A long-standing foreign minister and diplomat, he has written an autobiography, covering eight decades of a lifetime, beginning with a childhood in Jerusalem, through vicissitudes of Palestine-Israeli dilemma, and a long, challenging career as foreign minister of Jordan, Minister of the Royal Court, Minister of Reconstruction and Development in charge of affairs and survival of Palestinian refugees, chief of Jordan delegation to the Jordanian Israeli Mixed Armistice Commission, Ambassador to Egypt during Nasser and Sadat regimes, and to Turkey, Italy and chief of mission to United Nations, where he sat on Security Council (1981-82) as representative of Jordan and wider Arab and Asian group. Wars, invasions massacres and stunning terrorist and resistance acts, he dealt with. His autobiography is filled information, anecdotes, reflections, humour, and analysis of multitudes of public and international affairs, including meetings with world leaders of the day. |

Jerusalem Unbound Author: Michael Dumper No of pages: 339 Language: English Dimensions: 16X23.5 cm ISBN: 978-0-231-16196-1 Publishing House: Columbia |
|
| Jerusalem's formal political borders reveal neither the dynamics of power in the city nor the underlying factors that make an agreement between Israel and the Palestinians so difficult. The lines delineating Israeli authority are frequently different from those delineating segregated housing or areas of uneven service provision or parallel national electoral districts of competing educational jurisdictions. In particular, the city's large number of holy sites and restricted religious compounds create enclaves that continually threaten to undermine the Israeli state's authority and control over the city. This lack of congruity between political control and the actual spatial organization and everyday use of the city leaves many areas of occupied East Jerusalem in a kind of twilight zone where citizenship, property rights, and the enforcement of the rule of law are ambiguously applied. Michael Dumper plots a history of Jerusalem that examines this intersecting and multileveled matrix and, in so doing, is able to portray the constraints on Israeli control over the city and the resilience of Palestinian enclaves after forty-five years of Israeli occupation. Adding to this complex mix is the role of numerous external influences—religious, political, financial, and cultural—so that the city is also a crucible for broader contestation. While the Palestinians may not return to their previous preeminence in the city, neither will Israel be able to assert a total and irreversible dominance. His conclusion is that the city will not only have to be shared but that the sharing will be based upon these many borders and the interplay between history, geography, and religion. |

|
| Sari Nusseibeh's family history is inextricably interwoven with the city of Jerusalem, and his own life with the Palestinian nationalist struggle.

Al-dou’ al-azraq (Blue Light) Author: Hussein Barghouti Publisher: Dar al-Raya Date: 2015 Print Length: 190 pages Language: Arabic Dimensions: 11.5 x 19.5 cm |
|
| “Hussein Barghouti’s true poesy is realised in al-dou’ al-azraq in ways it has not been in his poetry. This is a text that does not conform to one literary genre. It is not a biography in the conventional sense, nor is it a novel: at once reminiscent of a novel’s narrative and the intimacy of biography. Still, the author’s life story is a primary component of this text that is open to any form of writing capable of containing his existential, cultural and philosophical burdens. It is a strange amalgam of personal candidness and inner meditations. From the repercussions of delirium to mythology. From reality to absence. From the narration of personal tales to Sufi introspection. From madness claiming wisdom, to wisdom that manifests solely in madness.” - Mahmoud Darwish |

The competition jury stated that Ghuneimah’s collection: “displays a mature and powerful poetic discourse, amazing metaphors and images, and poetic momentum that flows in smooth texts about cruelty and sadness. These are presented through poetics distinguished by subjectivity, experimentation, creativity, and justified subjective sadness that possesses the power to open a window to what is human and universal.” | ||

|
| This novel received an encouragement award at the A M Qattan Foundation’s 2011 Young Writers Awards. The jury stated: “This work is distinct in its courageous content and style. It employs novel imagery and language that captivates its reader… it addresses the resistance in [national] struggle terms and also in terms of its anti-democratic transgressions. There is some satire of the patriarchy, but one that forgoes patronising discourse in favour of irony. Stylistically, this work is at home with the narrative aesthetics established by Emile Habibi in The Pessoptimist.” | ||
 |
Jirah tujarreb nafsaha (Wounds Test Themselves) Author: Hamed Ashour Publisher: A M Qattan Foundation and Al-Dar al-Ahlia Date: 2018 Print Length: 103 pages Language: Arabic Dimensions: 13.5 x 21.5 cm |

Qamh fi cotton (Wheat in Cotton) Author: Jadal Qassem Publisher: A M Qattan Foundation and Al-Dar al-Ahlia Date: 2017 Print Length: 143pages Language: Arabic Dimensions: 13.5 x 21.5 cm |
|
| Jada Qassem’s first poetry collection won A M Qattan Foundation’s 2015 Young Writers Award. The competition jury stated that the collection “presents a new feminine poetic voice through prosaic poetry that carries female concerns and is characterized by a meditative tendency, which elevates its poetics and coherence. There is a rhythmic warmth and novel, sometimes astounding assessments in poems that progressively brim with imagery, meaning and sentiment, as though creating from nothingness, rather than a past image, something akin to sculpture in a serious exploration of ‘the other’, who in this case are men…” | ||
 |
Safar yonset lil `a’ila (Listening to the Family Journey) Author: Ali Abu Ajamiyeh Publisher: A M Qattan Foundation and Al-Dar al-Ahlia Date: 2014 Print Length: 111 pages Language: Arabic Dimensions: 13.5 x 21.5 cm |

 |
Thahira– qasa’ed fi arabat al-iskafi (Afternoon: Poetry in the Shoemaker’s Cart) Author: Nidal al-Faqawi Publisher: A M Qattan Foundation and Al-Dar al-Ahlia Date: 2017 Print Length: 111 pages Language: Arabic Dimensions: 13.5 x 21.5 cm |
|
| This poetry collection won the A M Qattan Foundation’s 2015 Young Writers Award. The jury stated: “In this collection, the poet captures his daily visual reality in order to find his way to his own private isolation and present need to write alternative poetry that shocks the reader or clashes with them in the least. It reflects the poet’s determined effort at metaphor and language, in addition to stylistic innovation and a maturity that makes his poetry unique.” | ||
 |
Sareer al-ghariba (The Stranger’s Bed) Author: Mahmoud Darwish Publisher: Dar al-Ahlia, Dar al-Nasher and Mahmoud Darwish Foundation Date: 2014 Print Length: 148 pages Language: Arabic Dimensions: 13.5 x 21.5 cm |
|
| The Stranger’s Bed is a title that carries only its poetry within it. The stranger and her bed are merely a love story wherein poetry had come to rest, and so this gem came to be. There is a peculiar irony in this collection; ordinarily, a poetry collection carries the title of one of the poems within it. In this one, there is none with the title ‘The Stranger’s Bed’. - Karim Mohammad |

|
| “For Darwish, poetry is not merely a means to arrive at an extraordinary vision, or at a universe of stories within a conventional system, but, rather, it is a trying clash of poetry and collective memory, and the pressure they exert on one another.” - Edward Said |

 |
Umm Saad Author: Ghassan Kanafani Publisher: Rimal Books Date: 2018 Print Length: 76 pages Language: Arabic Dimensions: 12 x 16.5 cm |
|
| “She stands now under cover of low hanging despair, high up the frontlines of battle. She pushes forward and, more than anyone else, continues to pay forward.” This is how Kanafani presented Palestinian motherhood when he wrote his 1969 novel. It is as though Umm Saad herself is the point at which his previous works converge. She is a character lost in a previous novel, obscured and hidden between the lines, within other characters, unannounced until the time is right. |

| Feast of Ashes tells the story of David Ohannessian, the renowned ceramicist who in 1919 founded the art of Armenian pottery in Jerusalem, where his work and that of his followers is now celebrated as a local treasure. Ohannessian's life encompassed some of the most tumultuous upheavals of the modern Middle East. Born in an isolated Anatolian mountain village, he witnessed the rise of violent nationalism in the waning years of the Ottoman Empire, endured arrest and deportation in the Armenian Genocide, founded a new ceramics tradition in Jerusalem under the British Mandate, and spent his final years, uprooted, in Cairo and Beirut. Ohannessian's life story is revealed by his granddaughter Sato Moughalian, weaving together family narratives with newly unearthed archival findings. Witnessing her personal quest for the man she never met, we come to understand a universal story of migration, survival, and hope. |
