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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIrreverent, erudite, captivating, and deeply informed, \u003ci\u003eMountain against the Sea\u003c\/i\u003e is a must-read book by the leading essayist on the cultural history of Palestine and the Palestinians.--Beshara Doumani, author of \u003ci\u003eRediscovering Palestine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe preeminent Palestinian historical sociologist, Salim Tamari, exhibits his masterful range and inquiring intelligence in this engrossing study of important aspects of the social, cultural, and intellectual history of Palestine and the Levant over the past century.--Rashid Khalidi, Edward Said Professor of Arab Studies, Columbia University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIrreverent, erudite, captivating, and deeply informed, \u003ci\u003eMountain against the Sea\u003c\/i\u003e is a must-read book by the leading essayist on the cultural history of Palestine and the Palestinians.--Beshara Doumani, author of \u003ci\u003eRediscovering Palestine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The preeminent Palestinian historical sociologist, Salim Tamari, exhibits his masterful range and inquiring intelligence in this engrossing study of important aspects of the social, cultural, and intellectual history of Palestine and the Levant over the past century.\"--Rashid Khalidi, Edward Said Professor of Arab Studies, Columbia University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSalim Tamari\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Sociology at Birzeit University, Palestine and Director of the Institute of Jerusalem Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.86 x 9 x 6.28 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 03, 2008\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46582542958789,"sku":"9780520251298","price":166.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/9jrb11kxH09780520251298_f3007753-0d7d-4d19-a4d5-c331247f3485.webp?v=1784802299","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/mountain-against-the-sea-essays-on-palestinian-society-and-culture-hardcover-1","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
