"Roaming the city's sonic spaces with histories managed and unmanaged by Zionist accounts, City of Song synthesizes Jerusalem the metaphorical and the material while traversing through its diasporic outposts, poetic longings, and contemporary anxieties. Read this book and you too will consider referring to Jerusalem in the plural. Jerusalems!" -- Assaf Shelleg, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem; author of Jewish Contiguities and the Soundtrack of Israeli History (OUP 2014) and Theological Stains: Art Music and the Zionist Project (OUP 2020) "City of Song is an important addition to the growing bookshelf on Israel/Palestine and its musics. Through his engaging dialogue with multiple disciplines, Figueroa exposes Jerusalem and its representation in Hebrew song as a treasure trove of contested meanings, historical narratives, and political imaginations." -- Oded Erez, Bar-Ilan, "The book charts how musical lyrics not only rally, memorialize, entertain, and shape political consciousness but also echo biblical prophecy of a longed-for messianic Jerusalem...this is solid a musical history of modern Jerusalem via the humanities." -- D.

Synopsis
In City of Song: Music and the Making of Modern Jerusalem, author Michael A. Figueroa presents an extensive history of Zionist musical discourses around Jerusalem in the long 20th century (1880-2010s), reorienting our understanding of the city's place in the Israeli-Palestine crisis., Central to myriad religious imaginaries, Jerusalem is the highly contested political epicenter of the Israeli-Palestinian crisis, and in transitioning the modernity its musical landscape has helped define these rifts. In City of Song: Music and the Making of Modern Jerusalem, author Michael A. Figueroa exposes the centrality of musical renderings of Jerusalem to Israeli political consciousness. Israeli songwriters shaped their public's territorial imagination, creating images of a massively diverse, heavenly and earthly city, prophesied and desired, rich with mourning. Jerusalem's dynamic lyrical and musical representation dispels myths of a intractable crisis based on unchanging identities. City of Song analyzes musical meanings, political discourses, and public performance, illuminating the historical contingency of the territorial fixation on Jerusalem. Figueroa's account offers a humanistic approach to a fundamental cultural and political question. Book jacket., Modern Jerusalem, a city central to Jewish, Muslim, and Christian religious imaginaries and the political epicenter of the Israeli-Palestinian crisis, is to put it mildly a highly contested space. More surprising, perhaps, is that its musical landscape not only reflects these rifts but also helped to define them as the ancient city transitioned to modernity during the twentieth century. In City of Song: Music and the Making of Modern Jerusalem , author Michael A. Figueroa argues that musical renderings of Jerusalem have been critical to the formation of Israeli political consciousness. The book demonstrates how Israeli songwriters helped to shape their public's territorial imagination-- creating images of a city at once heavenly and earthly, that dwells in longing, that must not be forgotten, that compels one to bereave the dead, that represents the fulfilment of prophecy, and that is the site of immense cultural diversity. The dynamic history of its representation in lyrics and music helps dispel any notion that the Israeli-Palestinian crisis is timeless, intractable, and based on static, essential identities; while there are continuities across historical divides, radical change constantly transpires. City of Song combines analyses of musical meaning, political discourse, and public performance over the long twentieth century (1880s-2010) to reveal how the Israeli-Palestinian crisis' territorial fixation on Jerusalem has been constructed, historically contingent, and subject to artistic intervention in modernity. Through a musical history of Jerusalem, Figueroa introduces a novel, humanities-centered approach to one of the world's most contested cities, and one of the defining cultural and political questions of our era., Modern Jerusalem, a city central to Jewish, Muslim, and Christian religious imaginaries and the political epicenter of the Israeli-Palestinian crisis, is to put it mildly a highly contested space.
