Adam LeBor 
City of Oranges: An Intimate History of Arabs and Jews in Jaffa [EPUB ebook] 

A profoundly human take on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, seen through the eyes of six families, three Arab and three Jewish.

The millennia-old port of Jaffa, now part of Tel Aviv, was once known as the ‘Bride of Palestine, ‘ one of the truly cosmopolitan cities of the Mediterranean. There Muslims, Jews, and Christians lived, worked, and celebrated together—and it was commonplace for the Arabs of Jaffa to attend a wedding at the house of the Jewish Chelouche family or for Jews and Arabs to both gather at the Jewish spice shop Tiv and the Arab Khamis Abulafia’s twenty-four-hour bakery. Through intimate personal interviews and generations-old memoirs, letters, and diaries, Adam Le Bor gives us a crucial look at the human lives behind the headlines—and a vivid narrative of cataclysmic change.
