Reviews

""In Palestine’s Christians and the Nationalist Cause, scholars rigorously analyze the intricate dynamics of religious identity, national allegiance and historical narratives. This insightful work illuminates the pivotal role played by Palestine’s Christian communities within the Palestinian Arab nationalist movement, challenging simplistic dichotomies and offering profound insights into the complexities of communal identities in the region. The authors’ nuanced exploration, amidst shifting political landscapes and external influences such as Zionism, provides invaluable contributions to understanding the multifaceted nature of identity formation."" Roberto Mazza, Visiting Lecturer Northwestern University, Executive Editor Jerusalem Unplugged ""In nine compelling chapters, the authors of Palestine’s Christians and the Nationalist Cause offer a nuanced and timely reading of Muslim-Christian relations in late Ottoman and Mandate Palestine, illuminating the entangled history of individuals, relationships and events."" Maria Chiara Rioli, Researcher, University of Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée
