Life after Ruin : The Struggles over Israel's Depopulated Arab Spaces Paperback / softback
by Noam (University of Durham) Leshem
Part of the Cambridge Middle East Studies series
Paperback / softback
Description
Following the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, the landscape of Israel-Palestine was radically transformed.
Breaking from conventional focus on explicit sites of violence and devastation, Noam Leshem turns critical attention to 'ordinary' spaces and places where the intricate and often intimate engagements between Jews and myriad Arab spaces takes place to this day.
Leshem builds on interdisciplinary studies of space, memory, architecture and history, and exposes a rich archive of ideology, culture, political projects of state-building and identity formation.
The result is a fresh look at the conflicted history of Israel-Palestine: a spatial history in which the Arab past isn't in fact separate, but inextricably linked to the Israeli present.
