Jerusalem Quarterly Issue 86

The focus of JQ 86 is “Time Travelers in Palestine”, based on a collection of stereoscopic images taken around the year 1900 that were curated in March 2017 by Issam Nassar and Ariella Azoulay at Brown University. “Jerusalem through Evangelical Eyes: Nineteenth-Century Western Encounters with Palestinian Christianity” explores Western attitudes to Christianity in Palestine as recorded in the accounts of nineteenth-century travelers, especially British Evangelicals of various denominations, to Jerusalem. The article titled “Situating Radio in the Soundscape of Mandate Jerusalem” sets radio broadcasting and listening within the broader “picture” of sound in 1930s–1940s Jerusalem. In a new section titled “Neighborhoods of Jerusalem,” JQ will be touring the city by neighborhoods, offering a fresh look onto the old vista. Saluting the sumud and bravery at Shaykh Jarrah, “Shaykh Jarrah – A Struggle for Survival” takes readers to the front lines in the latest takeover confrontation in East Jerusalem.
