Jerusalem during World War I: a multiethnic city in time of an acute crisis -- Identities in transition: contested space and identities in Jerusalem -- Between Ottomanism and Zionism: the case of the Sephardi community -- When a city changes hands: Jerusalem between Ottoman and British rule -- Between the Muslim-Christian associations and the Muslim national associations: the rise of intercommunal tension |
| Summary |
The history of Jerusalem as traditionally depicted is the quintessential history of conflict and strife, of ethnic tension, and of incompatible national narratives and visions. It is also a history of dramatic changes and moments, one of the most radical ones being the replacement of the Ottoman regime with British rule in December 1917. From Empire to Empire challenges these two major dichotomies, ethnic and temporal, which shaped the history of Jerusalem and its inhabitants. It links the experiences of two ethnic communities living in Palestine, Jews and Arabs, as well as bridging two historical periods, the Ottoman and British administrations |
