Modern urban spaces are, by definition, mixed. In many ways, their success lies in the richness of their ethnic variety and ongoing exchange of cultural traits and ideas, but this mixture is not necessarily harmonious. Focusing not on capital cities or the holy sites which are so heavily associated with Middle Eastern Urban space, but on Palestinian-Israeli mixed towns, this book theorizes the relationship between modernity, the concept of the nation and the dynamics which engender and characterize the growth of urban spaces. In these mixed towns, Arabs and Jews have been interacting for decad

Who hasn’t dreamt of being whisked away to a sweet little Italian town buried deep in the countryside-towns with names that roll off the tongue like Vercelli, Portofino, and Tuscania? The small towns sprinkled throughout this expansive book are not only rich with beauty, but are also saturated with as much historical and cultural importance as their sister cities. The fact that they are "off the beaten path"-though sometimes extraordinarily famous for their art, food, and wine, or simply their setting-makes them rare gems even more desirable to see. This book is the perfect guide for tho
