City of Oranges book
In two days we will know if the Israeli film: Ajami, directed by Scandar Copti and Yaron Shani will be nominated for an Oscar.
For all the people who saw, or will see this awesome movie about the Ajami-neighborhood in Jaffo, I recommand an outstanding book about the Arab-Jewish history of Jaffo: “City of Oranges : Arabs and Jews in Jaffa”, written by Adam LeBor.
In 357 pages (with a lot of historical pictures) Adam LeBor writes about the ordinary people and families in Jaffo, who are trying to get on with their lives in the middle of a interminable conflict.

Thanks so much for the very nice mention of my book, ‘City of Oranges’. It is a project very close to my heart. I am looking forward to seeing Ajami very much. Also, ‘City of Oranges’ is published in a few weeks in Hebrew, by Carmel Publishing.
