- Title
A Weeping on the Road to Bethlehem: Contestation over the Uses of Rachel's Tomb.
- Authors
Bowman, Glenn
- Abstract
This paper examines the case of Rachel's Tomb, a shrine revered at various times by various combinations of Muslims, Christians and Jews, looking at how the increasingly incommensurate ideas of local inhabitants and immigrant Jews about how the holy place should be approached led initially to a spatial separation within the shrine and then to violent, and exclusive, battles over sectarian (and increasingly 'national') properties.
