"This history of modern Palestinian culture is particularly refreshing because it goes beyond the usual focal point of the 1948 war to address the formative period that preceded it. 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 interwar period of 1918-1948: a musician, a teacher, a former aristocrat, a doctor, a Bolshevik revolutionary, and a Jewish novelist. Taken together, these essays present an integrated cultural history that illuminates a defining moment in the modern social history of the Arab East, the formulation of the Arab Enlightenment. Written by a leading Palestinian sociologist and Jerusalem expert, Mountain against the Sea offers a vital and original contribution to our understanding of Palestinian history and culture."--BOOK JACKET.
