Editorial Reviews

The Politics of Jerusalem Since 1967 is, in fact, about much more than politics: it is particularly valuable for its treatment of demography, planning, housing, and services-important but hitherto unstudied subjects. Dumper is cool and fair-minded in his analysis of British, Israeli, Jordanian, Palestinian, and international policies concerning the Holy City. This book should be required reading for anyone concerned with or involved in the Arab-Israeli peace process. I know of no other study that throws more light on the complex and central issue of Jerusalem.

Michael C. Hudson

Offers a political, social, cultural, and economic portrait of the city, focusing on its importance in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Examines life in the city, covering demography, urban planning, and housing, and considers the relationship between the conflict over Jerusalem and the resolution of major issues of the Arab-Israeli conflict. For academics and others. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
