{"product_id":"governing-the-sacred-yuval-jobani-9780190932381","title":"Governing the Sacred: Political Toleration in Five Contested Sacred Sites","description":"Holy sites are often at the center of intense contestation between different groups regarding a wide variety of issues, including ownership, access, usage rights, permissible religious conduct, and many others. They are often the source of intractable long-standing conflicts and extreme violence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese difficulties are exemplified by the five sites profiled in \u003cem\u003eGoverning the Sacred\u003c\/em\u003e: Devils Tower National Monument (Wyoming, US), Babri Masjid\/Ram Janmabhoomi (Uttar-Pradesh, India), the Western Wall (Jerusalem), the Church of the Holy Sepulchre (Jerusalem), and the Temple Mount\/Haram esh-Sharif (Jerusalem). Telling the fascinating stories of these high-profile contested sites, the authors develop and critically explore five different models of governing such sites: \"non-interference,\" \"separation and division,\" \"preference,\" \"status-quo,\" and \"closure.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach model relies on different sets of considerations; central among them are trade-offs between religious liberty and social order. This novel typology aims to assist democratic governments in their attempt to secure public order and mutual toleration among opposed groups in contested sacred sites.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yuval Jobani, Nahshon Perez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0190932384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190932381\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 6.40w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2021","brand":"Yuval Jobani","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47202621784319,"sku":"9780190932381","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_77094c89-033a-4140-936d-37e7284f961f.jpg?v=1756832906","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/governing-the-sacred-yuval-jobani-9780190932381","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
