Bethlehem: A Sociocultural History/Book
$13.00
“Bethlehem: A Socio Cultural History” book, published by Diyar Publisher in 2020.
Bethlehem has a unique setting spanning a fertile landscape to the west and desert to the east.
Its diverse environment made it a center for Baal and Adonis on the one hand, and the perfect setting for desert monasteries on the other.
Its historical and religious significance turned it into a place for pilgrimage, and a tourist destination, while its location on one of the ancient trade routes made it a city for expansive cultural exchange.
The city’s present-day inhabitants of Christian and Muslim Palestinians make it a unique place for inter-religious interaction.
Different aspects of this rich socio-cultural history are the focus of twelve essays by: Michele Bacci/ Amanda Batarseh/ Nicholas Blincoe/ Glenn Bowmann/ Nuha Khoury/ Lance Laird/ Elizabeth Marteijn/ Falistin Naili/ Tom Selwyn/ Sawsan Shomali/ Dana Soboh/ Gislen Widen.

However, all of the studies so far concentrate on the emergence of this identity in the last hundred years. Although several papers in this book still have dealt with the development of the Palestinian Identity in late Ottoman and early British Mandate Palestine, another focus of the event was however on analyzing the understanding of the Palestinian Identity in relation to the biblical story, history and archeology and how this understanding has been reflected in poetry and the art. The self-Understanding of the Palestinians of themselves in relation to time and space and their relationship to other marginalized groups is a question of high political and social relevance. The participation of scholars from different parts of the world in the event did not only bring an international scope, persuasions and perspectives, but helped fostering an ecumenical, interdisciplinary, multi-ethnic and multi-cultural environ, dialogues and philosophy.$15.00 SKU: DAK035Add to cart -
