Much has been written about the religious and political conflicts of contemporary Jerusalem--and about the harsh realities of the intifada. But while analysts probe the violence in the "reunited city," its residents must go about their daily affairs. Focusing on the conduct of everyday life, rather than on ideology, Living Together Separately provides a rare look at the complex networks of practical relations developed by Jews and Arabs in over two decades of Israeli control of the city. The work begins with a brief historical review of Jerusalem as an Arab-Jewish city. Then, combining the perspectives of urban geography and social anthropology, it addresses a wide range of questions. How does the use of urban space and urban systems reflect both segregation and integration? How do ethnic identities influence interactions in adjoining neighborhoods, in workplaces, and in a hospital? What rules govern Arab-Jewish contacts in business, consumer, and political settings? In the final chapter the authors evaluate the Jerusalem situation in comparison with conditions in other deeply divided cities and in light of the intifada. Long-time residents of Jerusalem, Romann and Weingrod seek to grasp the variety of day-to-day exchanges without preconceptions and from the viewpoints of all participants. "Michael Romann and Alex Weingrod are my pick to serve on a jury trying a very tangled case."--Fouad Ajami, School of International Studies, The Johns Hopkins University

About the Author:
Alex Weingrod is professor of anthropology at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.
From Library Journal:
A geographer and an anthropologist, both Jerusalem residents, examine how the two major ethnic communities, the Jews and the Palestinian Arabs, reside together within the municipality. The city, unified after the June 1967 war, provides the setting for the captive audience of two peoples who share a cultural affinity but who are divided by strong political and ideological differences. Looking at housing patterns along with the nature of employment, private business, and public services, the authors note that the city continues to operate relatively efficiently with a largely segregated population. What integration can be observed is at a very low level with an Arab dependency on the Jewish sector of the economy. The authors conclude that Jerusalem is strongly polarized and tense. This is an excellent and honest evaluation of the city's current social status and is highly recommended for scholars and specialists.
