Muslim-Christian Relations in Late-Ottoman Palestine

More about the book

The book explores the complexities of Muslim-Christian relations and the evolution of Arab national identity during the late-Ottoman period in Palestine. Key developments include non-Arabic speaking Christian communities defining their identity through nationalism based on faith, Christians asserting their rights as politically equal Ottoman citizens, and Muslim Arabs shifting their identity from 'Muslim' to 'Arab' with minimal daily impact. The author provides a detailed analysis of these factors and their long-term implications for communal identity in the region.
