Extract

In Green Crescent over Nazareth, Professor Israeli provides a very provocative and meticulous account of Nazareth in modern times—as part of the British Mandatory Palestine and as part of the State of Israel since 1948—and the changing demography of the city, which he characterizes as the hostile and deliberate displacement of Christians by Muslims. The story of Nazareth, and the political and cultural struggle between the Christian and Muslim communities that clearly characterize it, is explained in great detail and is the focus of the book.
