• Description

  Minorities in the Middle East: Religious Communities in Jerusalem 1843-1974 and Minorities in Israel 4-volume set, approximately 2,090 pages. ISBNs for this edition are 9781788067003 and 1840971258, subsequent editions use 9781840971255 (print) and 9781139963503 (e-book). The documents explore the treatment and position of the diverse religious minorities within Jerusalem and more generally in Israel after 1948. Historically, relations between Muslims and non-Muslims have varied according to political events. Within the confines of Jerusalem and its environs the many different claims of the main faiths to Islam, Judaism and Christianity to parts of the city have exacerbated the effects of the political climate. Furthermore, struggles for rights to minority worship with in the State have been diverted as rivalries between churches, particularly within the Christian church, have divided congregations. This selection of documents gives an overview of the interplay within and between the different faiths.
