SUMMARY:Matthew Teller\, author of Nine Quarters of Jerusalem with Palestine Museum US
DESCRIPTION:The program begins at 12 Noon US EDT; 7:00 PM Palestine Time\nPlease join us for a session of open discussion about Palestinian topics.\nOur guest for this episode is Matthew Teller\, author of Nine Quarters of Jerusalem\, A New Biography of the Old City \nThis is a Virtual Book Launch \n\n\n\n\nAbout the Book\nThis unique\, absorbing biography of Jerusalem brings to light its overlooked histories and diverse contemporary voices. \nIn Jerusalem\, what you see and what is true are two different things. The Old City has never had “four quarters” as its maps proclaim. And beyond the crush and frenzy of its major religious sites\, many of its quarters are little known to visitors\, its people ignored and their stories untold. Nine Quarters of Jerusalem lets the communities of the Old City speak for themselves. Ranging from ancient past to political present\, it evokes the city’s depth and cultural diversity. \nMatthew Teller’s highly original “biography” features the Old City’s Palestinian and Jewish communities\, but also spotlights its Indian and African populations\, its Greek and Armenian and Syriac cultures\, its downtrodden Dom Gypsy families\, and its Sufi mystics. It discusses the sources of Jerusalem’s holiness and the ideas—often startlingly secular—that have shaped lives within its walls. It is an evocation of place through story\, led by the voices of Jerusalemites.
