Editorial Reviews

Israeli (Islamic and Middle Eastern history, Hebrew U., Israel) recounts the history of Muslim, Christian, and Jew in Nazareth in the 20th century, in a tale that mirrors the shape of current affairs in Israel. He focuses in particular on the intense dispute over the plaza in front of the Church of the Annunciation which certain groups claim should be the site of a mosque and Christians claim for their church.
