Jerusalem's formal political borders reveal neither the dynamics of power in the city nor the underlying factors that make an agreement between Israel and the Palestinians so difficult. The lines delineating Israeli authority are frequently different from those delineating segregated housing or areas of uneven service provision or parallel national electoral districts of competing educational jurisdictions. In particular, the city's large number of holy sites and restricted religious compounds create enclaves that continually threaten to undermine the Israeli state's authority and control over the city. This lack of congruity between political control and the actual spatial organization and everyday use of the city leaves many areas of occupied East Jerusalem in a kind of twilight zone where citizenship, property rights, and the enforcement of the rule of law are ambiguously applied. Michael Dumper plots a history of Jerusalem that examines this intersecting and multileveled matrix and, in so doing, is able to portray the constraints on Israeli control over the city and the resilience of Palestinian enclaves after forty-five years of Israeli occupation. Adding to this complex mix is the role of numerous external influences-religious, political, financial, and cultural-so that the city is also a crucible for broader contestation. While the Palestinians may not return to their previous preeminence in the city, neither will Israel be able to assert a total and irreversible dominance. His conclusion is that the city will not only have to be shared but that the sharing will be based upon these many borders and the interplay between history, geography, and religion.

Cet ouvrage propose une approche originale de la politique de séparation mise en œuvre par Israël en Cisjordanie et dans la bande de Gaza. Si la construction du Mur, lancée en 2002, a parfois été envisagée comme la création d’une frontière, la poursuite de la colonisation et les redéploiements de l’armée des deux côtés du Mur ont au contraire renforcé l’imbrication des espaces israéliens et palestiniens en Cisjordanie. Cette politique n’a donc pas créé de frontière, au sens classique de frontière-ligne de l’État moderne, et n’a pas séparé deux territoires : elle a dissocié les mouvements des populations palestiniennes et israéliennes, et profondément transformé leurs relations et interactions. À travers quinze enquêtes de terrain conduites par des historiens, des anthropologues, des géographes des politistes et des sociologues, ce livre décrypte le régime d’occupation israélien et les frontières, à partir de la façon dont elles fonctionnent, en organisant des flux de circulation. Décloisonnant les champs des études israéliennes et palestiniennes, il propose une perspective intermédiaire entre une approche institutionnelle et un regard anthropologique portant sur le vécu des Palestiniens, sur leurs adaptations et détournements des mécanismes de contrôle. L’élargissement de l’analyse aux expériences des Palestiniens du Sud Liban, des Libanais de Galilée, et des migrants venus d’Afrique et d’Asie montre la dimension globale du régime d’occupation israélien actuel.
