Narratives, Communities & Borders in Jerusalem

​

I am the author of the ethnography Overlooking the Border: Narratives of divided Jerusalem (2018). It explores the narratives of Palestinians and Israelis who have grown up in Jerusalem over the past century, and contextualizes these amid communal narratives and representations of the city’s history in walking tours, storytelling events, museum exhibits, and architecture.

​

The lives of Mizrahi Jews living near Jerusalem’s border zone, refugee camp dwellers, well-to-do Palestinians, orthodox Jews, academics, activists, and others  emerge in a web of interwoven local, national, and global contexts that render hegemonic, subversive, and subaltern perspectives.

 

This is also available as an audio book.
