Rothenberg. Lanham : Lexington, c2004. 1 online resource (xii, 149 p.) : ill., map. Includes bibliographical references (p. 137-143) and index. Introduction -- The jinn -- Women and the jinn -- Zahia and her Jewish jinn -- Men and the jinn -- Social geography and the jinn -- Marriages in Artas. "The Palestinian Muslim village of Artas is cradled in the lap of four mountains in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Although Artas has experienced the violence of Israeli occupation, Spirits of Palestine does not focus exclusively on the villagers' experiences of violence, terrorism, or loss. This ethnography looks instead at the daily lives of Palestinian women and men and how they relate to tragedies and difficulties both large and small. Through stories of possession by the jinn, spirits that appear throughout the Koran, anthropologist Celia Rothenberg takes the reader past the dramatic, violent world of street battles and stone-throwing to more intimate realms of power - in homes and prisons, family and neighborhood relations, and personal experiences of migration and diaspora." "Spirits of Palestine is a truly original ethnography and an essential addition to scholarship on Israel, Palestine, and the Middle East that will be of interest to cultural anthropologists, sociologists, and women's/gender studies scholars."--BOOK JACKET.
