In Charlemagne’s Survey of the Holy Land, Michael McCormick rehabilitates and reinterprets one of the most neglected and extraordinary sources from Charlemagne’s revival of the Roman empire: the report of a fact-finding mission to the Christian church of the Holy Land. The roll of documents translated and edited in this volume preserves the most detailed statistical portrait before the Domesday Book of the finances, monuments (including exact dimensions), and female and male personnel of any major Christian church. Setting these documents in the context of economic trends, archaeological evidence, and a comparison of Holy Land churches and monasteries with their contemporaries west and east, this study shows that the Palestinian church was living in decline as its old financial links with Byzantium slackened. In recounting Charlemagne’s move to outflank the Byzantine emperor, McCormick constructs a microhistory of the Frankish king’s ambitions and formidable organizational talents for running an empire. Supplementing McCormick’s major synthesis, The Origins of the European Economy, this volume will be indispensable reading for anyone interested in medieval rulership and economics, and in the history of the Holy Land, its Christian communities, and its late antique monuments.

Why do some national movements use violent protest and others nonviolent protest? Wendy Pearlman shows that much of the answer lies inside movements themselves. Nonviolent protest requires coordination and restraint, which only a cohesive movement can provide. When, by contrast, a movement is fragmented, factional competition generates new incentives for violence and authority structures are too weak to constrain escalation. Pearlman reveals these patterns across one hundred years in the Palestinian national movement, with comparisons to South Africa and Northern Ireland. To those who ask why there is no Palestinian Gandhi, Pearlman demonstrates that nonviolence is not simply a matter of leadership. Nor is violence attributable only to religion, emotions or stark instrumentality. Instead, a movement's organizational structure mediates the strategies that it employs. By taking readers on a journey from civil disobedience to suicide bombings, this book offers fresh insight into the dynamics of conflict and mobilization.

Who are the Palestinians? In this compelling book of interviews, Arthur Neslen reaches beyond journalistic clichés to let a wide variety of Palestinians answer the question for themselves. Beginning in the present with Bisan and Abud, two traumatized children from Jenin's refugee camp, the book's narrative arcs backwards through the generations to come full circle with two elderly refugees from villages that the children were named after. Along the way, Neslen recounts a history of land, resistance, exile, and trauma that begins to explain Abud's wish to become a martyr and Bisan's dream of a Palestine empty of Jews. Senior Fatah and Hamas figures relate key events of the Palestinian experience-the Second Intifada, Oslo Process, First Intifada, Thawra, 1967 War, the Naqba, and the Great Arab Revolt of 1936-in their own words. The extraordinary voices of women, children, farmers, fighters, drug dealers, policeman, doctors, and others, spanning the political divide from Salafi Jihadists to Israeli soldiers, bring the Palestinian story to life even as their words sow seeds of hope in the scorched Palestinian earth.

Der Band behandelt in einem transdisziplinären Ansatz verschiedene Aspekte der Zerstörung der Grabeskirche zu Jerusalem am 28. September 1009 auf Befehl des fatimidischen Kalifen al-Hakim in ihrem historischen Kontext. Es werden die ideologischen Ursachen und die Folgen beleuchtet und das Bauwerk selbst näher untersucht. Arabisten, Byzantinisten, Judaisten, Mediävisten, Kunsthistoriker, Orientalisten sowie Vertreter der Nordistik liefern Beiträge zu einem fachübergreifenden Diskurs. Dabei gerät zum einen das Verbindende und Gemeinsame der verschiedenen Religionen und Kulturen zunächst stärker in den Blick als die Trennlinien und Unterschiede. So waren etwa bei den christlichen Feierlichkeiten in der Grabeskirche zu Jerusalem auch zahlreiche Muslime anwesend, war die Mutter des Kalifen selbst eine Christin und wurde die Kirche nach ihrer Zerstörung von der fatimidischen Regentin Sitt al-Mulk wieder aufgebaut. Zum anderen aber wurden die Ereignisse zum Auslöser von Judenpogromen in Westeuropa, und sie begünstigten die Entstehung der Kreuzzugsideologie. Damit vertieften sie letztlich die Gräben zwischen den verschiedenen Religionen und Kulturen.
