Abstract: 

This anthology contains eleven contributions by historians, sociologists and anthropologists on issues pertaining to Jerusalem’s recent history. What unites them is an attempt to go beyond the conventional paradigms and themes that have prevailed, so far, among Arab and Palestinian historians. The objective is not to undermine any of this existing stock of writings, whose underlying assumption is often ideological, but rather to transcend these paradigms, into a new history which is critical and reflective.
