Not once but three times holy, its overwhelming spiritual significance looms large over the city's complex urban landscape and the diurnal rhythms and struggles that make up its earthbound existence. Nonetheless, writes Paola Caridi, in this intimate and hard-hitting portrayal of the city, it is possible to close one's eyes and, "like the blind listening to sounds, " discern the conflict and plurality of belonging that mark out the city's secular character. Jerusalem without God leads the reader through the streets, malls, suburbs, traffic jams, and squares of Jerusalem's present moment, into the daily lives of the men and women who inhabit it. Caridi brings contemporary Jerusalem alive by describing it as a place of sights and senses, sounds and smells, but she also shows us a city riven by the harsh asymmetry of power and control embodied in its lines, limits, walls, and borders. She explores a cruel city, where Israeli and Palestinian civilians sometimes spend hours in the same supermarkets, only to return to the confines of their respective districts, invisible to each other; a city memorable for its ancient stones and shimmering sunsets but dotted with Israeli checkpoints, "postmodern drawbridges," that control the movement of people, ideas, and potential attackers. Describing Jerusalem through the lenses of urban planners and politicians, anthropologists and archaeologists, advertisers and scholars, Jerusalem with God reveals a city that is as diverse as it is complex and, ultimately, argues its author, one whose destiny cannot be tied to any single religious faith, tradition, or political ideology. -- Back cover 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 7 HISTORY|zMiddle East|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE / Essays.|2bisacsh 650 7 Travel.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1155558 651 0 Jerusalem|xDescription and travel.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh88002640 651 7 Middle East|zJerusalem.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1216276 776 08 |iPrint version:|aCaridi, P.
