First line

Why has modernity and its antinomies played such an important role in the history of the Jaffa-Tel Aviv region, and through it, in the larger historical and political history of Palestine/Israel?

From the rear cover

"This is an exciting and important book about social and urban history as well as borders and identity, specifically of modern Middle East. The story Le Vine unfolds is easy to follow and get involved with."--Leila Fawaz, author of An Occasion for War: Civil Conflict in Lebanon and Demascus in 1860

"This is a foundational work for a new way of studying Palestinian-Israeli relations. LeVine conceptualizes the experience of Palestinian Arabs and Israeli Jews as interdependent and interreferential."--Gershon Shafir, co-author of Being Israeli: The Dynamics of Multiple Citizenship
