Overview
In Jerusalem, what you see and what is true areĀ two different things. The Old City has neverĀ had āfour quartersā as its mapsĀ proclaim. And beyond the crush and frenzy of its majorĀ religious sites, many of its quarters are littleĀ known to visitors, its people ignored andĀ theirĀ stories untold. Nine Quarters of Jerusalem lets the communities of the Old City speakĀ for themselves. Ranging from ancient past toĀ political present, it evokes the cityās depthĀ andĀ cultural diversity.
Matthew Tellerās highly original ābiographyāĀ features the Old Cityās Palestinian and JewishĀ communities, but also spotlights itsĀ Indian andĀ African populations, its Greek and ArmenianĀ and Syriac cultures, its downtrodden DomĀ Gypsy families, and its SufiĀ mystics. It discussesĀ the sources of Jerusalemās holiness and theĀ ideasāoften startlingly secularāthat haveĀ shaped lives within itsĀ walls. It is an evocationĀ of place through story, led by the voices ofĀ Jerusalemites.
