Drawing on previously unavailable biographies of Palestinians (including Palestinian Jews), Salim Tamari offers eleven vignettes of Palestine's cultural life in the momentous first half of the twentieth century. He brings to light the memoirs, diaries, letters, and other writings of six Jerusalem intellectuals whose lives spanned (and defined) the period of 1918-1948: a musician, a teacher, a former aristocrat, a doctor, a Bolshevik revolutionary, and a Jewish novelist. These essays present an integrated cultural history that illuminates a watershed in the modern social history of the Arab East, the formulation of the Arab Enlightenment.Palestinian ArabsIntellectual life20th centuryPalestineSocial life and customs20th centuryPalestineCivilizationarab east.arab enlightenment.aristocrats.biographies.boshevik revolutionary.cultural history.diaries.doctors.early 20th century.essays.global society.intellectuals.jerusalem.letters.memoirs.middle east.modern history.modern palestine.musicians.nonfiction.novelist.palestine.palestinian conflict.palestinian culture.palestinian jews.political science.pre war years.regional history.social history.social perspective.teachers.war and peace.Palestinian ArabsIntellectual life956.9405Tamari Salim1028974MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777947103321Mountain against the sea3724188UNINA
