Download or read book Beyond the Basilica written by Chad F. Emmett and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1995-02-07 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nazareth, the largest Arab city in Israel, is a surprising example of ethnic harmony in a region dominated by conflict. A recent trend toward integration of its historical Greek Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Muslim quarters however, has disrupted the harmony. In Beyond the Basilica: Christians and Muslims in Nazareth, Chad F. Emmett provides penetrating analysis of the complex relationship between the structure of Nazareth’s quarters and the relations between its ethnic communities. Emmett describes both the positive and negative effects of Nazareth’s residential patterns. He shows that the addition of new and ethnically mixed quarters has promoted mixed schools, joint holiday celebrations, a common political culture, and social networks that cross ethnic boundaries. But he also finds that tensions exist among Christian groups and between Muslims and Christians in regard to intersectarian marriages, religious conversion, attempts to establish a joint Christian cemetery, and the emergence of a local Islamic party. Extensive interviews with leaders of religious groups, political parties, and residents reveal the way in which members of each ethnic community perceive one another. A survey of 300 families gives a wealth of details about the make-up of Nazareth’s population, including residential histories, religion, level of religious conviction, friendship and shopping patterns, and much more. Fourteen maps trace changes in the distribution of religious groups and political affiliation in Nazareth from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. Beyond the Basilica will interest cultural geographers, historians, demographers, political scientists, and anyone who would like to learn more about an ethnically divided community in the residents cooperate more than they fight.
Download or read book Food Practices and Social Inequality written by Jennifer Smith Maguire and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-08-10 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policy-related, academic and populist accounts of the relationship between food and class tend to reproduce a dichotomy that privileges either middle-class discerning taste or working-class necessity. Taking a markedly different approach, this collection explores the classed cultures of food practices across the spectrum of social stratification. Eschewing assumptions about the tastes (or lack thereof) of low-income consumers, the authors call attention to the diverse, complex forms of critical creativity and cultural capital employed by individuals, families and communities in their attempts to acquire and prepare food that is both healthy and desirable. The collection includes research carried out in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Denmark, and covers diverse contexts, from the intense insecurity of food deserts to the relative security of social democratic states. Through quantitative and qualitative cross-class comparisons, and ethnographic accounts of low-income experiences and practices, the authors examine the ways in which food practices and preferences are inflected by social class (alone, and in combination with gender, ethnicity and urban/rural location). The collection underlines the simultaneous need for the development of a more nuanced, dynamic account of the tastes and cultural competences of socially disadvantaged groups, and for structural critiques of the gross inequalities in the degrees of freedom with which different individuals and groups engage in food practices. This book was originally published as a special issue of Food, Culture & Society.

Download or read book Nicosia Travel Guide written by Daniel Windsor and published by Interactive Media Licensing. This book was released on 2024-06-14 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nicosia, the capital city of Cyprus, stands as a unique blend of ancient history and modern urban life. Nestled in the heart of the Mediterranean, Nicosia is not just the administrative and economic center of Cyprus but also a cultural hub that reflects the island's rich and diverse heritage. This city, which has been continuously inhabited for over 4,500 years, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past while simultaneously embracing the future. Nicosia’s significance is amplified by its position as the last divided capital in Europe. Since the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974, Nicosia has been split into two parts: the northern section controlled by Turkish Cypriots and the southern part governed by Greek Cypriots. This division has created a city with two distinct identities, each with its own traditions, culture, and way of life. Despite this separation, efforts for reunification and cooperation continue, reflecting the resilience and hope of its residents. Walking through Nicosia is like traversing a timeline of history. The ancient walls that encircle the city, built by the Venetians in the 16th century, are a testament to its strategic importance over the centuries. These walls, along with other historical landmarks such as the Selimiye Mosque (formerly the Cathedral of Saint Sophia) and the Archbishop's Palace, offer a window into the city’s storied past. Modern Nicosia is a vibrant city where the old meets the new. Skyscrapers and modern architecture sit comfortably alongside traditional Cypriot houses and Byzantine churches. The city is a melting pot of cultures, with a population that includes not just Greek and Turkish Cypriots, but also expatriates and immigrants from around the world. This diversity is reflected in the city’s cuisine, festivals, and daily life, making Nicosia a dynamic and exciting place to live and visit. Economically, Nicosia is the powerhouse of Cyprus. It hosts the island's main financial institutions, major businesses, and educational centers, including the University of Cyprus. The city’s thriving economy is complemented by its role as a cultural and educational center, with numerous museums, galleries, and theaters. These institutions play a crucial role in preserving and promoting the rich cultural heritage of Nicosia and Cyprus as a whole. Environmental sustainability is also becoming a focus in Nicosia’s development. Green spaces, such as the Pedieos River Linear Park, provide residents and visitors with a respite from the urban hustle and bustle. Initiatives to promote cycling and public transportation aim to reduce the city’s carbon footprint, making it a more livable and environmentally friendly urban center. Nicosia is a city that encapsulates the spirit of Cyprus: a place where history and modernity coexist, where diverse cultures blend harmoniously, and where the challenges of the past are met with optimism for the future. It is a city that invites exploration and discovery, offering something for everyone, from history enthusiasts to modern urbanites. Nicosia is not just the heart of Cyprus but also a symbol of its enduring legacy and future potential.

Download or read book The Politics of Planting written by Shaul Ephraim Cohen and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1993-06 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the open landscape of Israel and the West Bank, where pine and cypress forests grow alongside olive groves, tree planting has become symbolic of conflicting claims to the land. Palestinians cultivate olive groves as a vital agricultural resource, while the Israeli government has made restoration of mixed-growth forests a national priority. Although both sides plant for a variety of purposes, both have used tree planting to assert their presence on—and claim to—disputed land. Shaul Ephraim Cohen has conducted an unprecedented study of planting in the region and the control of land it signifies. In The Politics of Planting, he provides historical background and examines both the politics behind Israel's afforestation policy its consequences. Focusing on the open land surrounding Jerusalem and four Palestinian villages outside the city, this study offers a new perspective on the conflict over land use in a region where planting has become a political tool. For the valuable data it presents—collected from field work, previously unpublished documents, and interviews—and the insight it provides into this political struggle, this will be an important book for anyone studying the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Download or read book After a California Earthquake written by Risa Palm and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1992-04-15 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortly before the Loma Prieta earthquake devastated areas of Northern California in 1989, Risa Palm and her associates had surveyed 2,500 homeowners in the area about their perception of risk from earthquakes. After the quake they surveyed the homeowners again and found that their perception of risk had increased but that most respondents were fatalistic and continued to ignore self-protective measures; those who personally experienced damage were more likely to buy insurance. A rare opportunity to analyze behavior change directly before and after a natural disaster, this survey has implications for policy makers, insurance officials, and those concerned with risk management.
