"The city of Jaffa presents a paradox: intimate neighbors who are political foes.
The official Jewish national tale proceeds from exile to redemption and nation-building,
while the Palestinians' is one of a golden age cut short, followed by dispossession
and resistance. The experiences of Jaffa's Jewish and Arab residents, however, reveal
lives and nationalist sentiments far more complex. Twilight Nationalism shares the
stories of ten of the city's elders--women and men, rich and poor, Muslims, Jews,
and Christians--to radically deconstruct these national myths and challenge common
understandings of belonging and alienation. Through the stories told at life's end,
Daniel Monterescu and Haim Hazan illuminate how national affiliation ultimately gives
way to existential circumstances. Similarities in lives prove to be shaped far more
by socioeconomic class, age, and gender than national allegiance, and intersections
between stories usher in a politics of existence in place of politics of identity.
In offering the real stories individuals tell about themselves, this book reveals
shared perspectives too long silenced and new understandings of local community previously
lost in nationalist narratives"--Back cover
