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 *
