Description
Book SynopsisConflict in the Middle East has caused observers to ask if Muslims and Christians can coexist. History suggests that relations between those two groups are not predetermined, but are the product of particular social and political circumstances. This book examines Muslim-Christian relations during an earlier period of political and social upheaval.
Trade Review"Haiduc-Dale offers a chronological history of Palestinian politics that focuses on the particular role in each stage of Christians, whose narratives have often been marginalized or essentialized. In the process, he offers a comprehensive and easy to follow guide to key landmarks in the development of the Palestinian national movement more generally.' - Liora R. Halperin, International Journal of Middle Eastern Studies. "Published in these times when the fates of Arab Christians and other minorities are at stake in the Middle East, this book is an important contribution to our understanding of the history of Christian communities in Mandate Palestine and in the Middle East in-general."- George Emile Irani, Journal of Palestine Studies
