This talk summarises the main arguments in Awad Halabi’s forthcoming book, Palestinian Rituals of Identity: The Prophet Moses Festival in Jerusalem, 1850-1948 (University of Texas Press, late 2022). The work focuses on the festival (mawsim) that honours the 13th century shrine of the Prophet Moses (maqam al-Nabi Musa) located south of Jericho, Moses’s reputed tomb. In the mid-19th century, though, festival organisers in Jerusalem organised a ceremony based in Jerusalem. They transformed the festival from traditional worship centered at the shrine to a large, public, civic ceremony centered in Jerusalem. Awad’s talk discusses how each social group involved in the ceremonies (Ottoman officials, British colonial officials, urban notables, religious officials, Palestinian nationalist leaders, Arab nationalist youth, villagers, women, Sufis, and anti-Zionist communist Jews) each attempted to control the symbols of the festival. These symbols included the ritual actors, rites, images, rhetoric, and processional routes. Awad examines how each group that attempted to control these ritual symbols promoted their unique understanding of politics, colonialism, modernity, identity, Islam, and gender in Palestine from 1850 to 1948.
