Jawhariyyeh's nine hundred images narrate the rich cultural and political milieu of Ottoman and Mandate Palestine. Nassar, Sheehi, and Tamari locate this archive at the juncture between the history of photography in the Arab world and the social history of Palestine. Shedding new light on this foundational period, the authors explore not just major historical events and the development of an urban bourgeois lifestyle but a social field of vision of Palestinian life as exemplified in the Jerusalem community. Tracking the interplay between photographic images, the authors offer evidence of the unbroken field of material, historical, and collective experience from the living past to the living present of Arab Palestine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIssam Nassar \u003c\/b\u003eis Chair of History at Doha Institute for Graduate Studies and coeditor of \u003ci\u003eJerusalem Quarterly.\u003c\/i\u003e He is the coauthor of \u003ci\u003eThe Storyteller of Jerusalem: The Life and Times of Wasif Jawahariyyeh\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGardens of Sand \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eStephen Sheehi \u003c\/b\u003eis Sultan Qaboos Professor of Middle East Studies and Director of the Decolonizing Humanities Project at William \u0026amp; Mary.
