My Jerusalem: Essays, Reminiscences, and Poems by Salma Khadra Jayyusi and Zafar Isbaq Ansari

My Jerusalem is a passionate and eclectic collection of essays, poems and scholarship that brings to life Jerusalem in its embattled contemporary guise as well as in its ancient history. Moving backward in time to classical Jerusalem, working to disentangle the knots of the three great monotheistic religions, the essays finally come to rest on the physical facts of Jerusalem: its monuments and alleys, its smells, its music, its people.
