Since the thirteenth century, they have celebrated at a shrine near Jericho believed to be the location of Moses's tomb; in the mid-nineteenth century, they organized a civic festival in Jerusalem to honor this prophet. Considered one of the most important occasions for Muslim pilgrims in Palestine, the Prophet Moses festival yearly attracted thousands of people who assembled to pray, conduct mystical forms of worship, and hold folk celebrations. Palestinian Rituals of Identity takes an innovative approach to the study of Palestine's modern history by focusing on the Prophet Moses festival from the late Ottoman period through the era of British rule. Halabi explores how the festival served as an arena of competing discourses, with various social groups attempting to control its symbols. Tackling questions about modernity, colonialism, gender relations, and identity, Halabi recounts how peasants, Bedouins, rural women, and Sufis sought to influence the festival even as Ottoman authorities, British colonists, Muslim clerics, and Palestinian national leaders did the same. Drawing on extensive research in Arabic newspapers and Islamic and colonial archives, Halabi reveals how the festival has encapsulated Palestinians' responses to modernity, colonialism, and the nation's growing national identity. 517 $aPalestinian Rituals of Identity 606 $aFasts and feasts$xIslam$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 606 $aFasts and feasts$zJerusalem$xHistory 606 $aFestivals$xPolitical aspects$zJerusalem$xHistory 606 $aFestivals$zJerusalem$xHistory 606 $aMuslim pilgrims and pilgrimages$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 606 $aMuslim pilgrims and pilgrimages$zJerusalem$xHistory 606 $aHISTORY / General$2bisacsh 607 $aMiddle East$zJerusalem$2fast 608 $aHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aPalestine, history, colonialism, Islam, rituals, Sufis, shrines. 615 0$aFasts and feasts$xIslam$xPolitical aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aFasts and feasts$xHistory. 615 0$aFestivals$xPolitical aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aFestivals$xHistory. 615 0$aMuslim pilgrims and pilgrimages$xPolitical aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aMuslim pilgrims and pilgrimages$xHistory. 615 7$aHISTORY / General. 676 $a297.3/5569442 686 $aHIS019000$aREL037060$2bisacsh 700 $aHalabi$b Awad$01793214 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910984622503321 996 $aPalestinian Rituals of Identity$94332762 997 $aUNINA
