This collection brings together exciting new work by a group of
innovative younger scholars who are at the cutting edge of research
on the modern history of Palestine, Israel and Zionism. Their
explorations of how territorial and ethnic as well as intellectual
boundaries in a variety of domains have been constructed and
maintained—but also frequently crossed—help open up promising new
ways of thinking about Arab-Jewish relations and interactions.

An intreguing reading of the memoirs of an Arabic-speaking Jewish
businessman....This book should be of interest to anyone interested
in the history and politics of Israel-Palestine, as well as broader
audiences concerned with sociology of law and medicine, space,
architecture and conflict, states, and gender.
*Journal of Palestine Studies*
This is an exciting cross-disciplinary look at the intersecting
Israeli-Palestinian communities over time. The organizing metaphor
of shifting and porous borders is an excellent way to unify this
new research.
