Eliza Griswold's The Tenth Parallel: Dispatches from the Faultline
between Christianity and Islam charts the struggle over who speaks
for God in the latitudes where rival beliefs come to blows. The
tenth parallel - the line of latitude seven hundred miles north of
the equator - is the front line where Christianity and Islam
collide. Here, from Nigeria, Sudan and Somalia to Indonesia,
Malaysia and the Philippines, both religions are experiencing huge
and sometimes violent reawakenings. Award-winning journalist Eliza
Griswold has spent the past seven years travelling this area and
meeting its people, asking where belief ends and secular conflict
begins, and examining how encounters between faiths will shape the
future. 'Her dispatches are compelling. She writes beautifully ...
and explains, more than any newspaper headline, what has gone
wrong' Michael Binyon, The Times 'A fascinating journey ... full of
arresting stories woven around a provocative issue, which Griswold
investigates through individual lives rather than caricatures or
abstractions' Linda Robinson, The New York Times 'The author brings
to her book a sharp eye for telling details and a keen sense of
place ... she visits some of the riskiest places on the planet and
tracks down terrorists, warlords, renegade priests and aspiring
Christian martyrs' Michael Mewshaw, Washington Post 'Her book is a
richly textured fugue that dramatizes the dizzying interplay
between notions - faith, morality, identity - and nations' Julie
Cline, Los Angeles Times Eliza Griswold, a fellow at the New
America Foundation, received both the first Robert I. Friedman
Award for investigative reporting and a 2010 Rome Prize from the
American Academy in Rome. Her journalism has appeared in The
Atlantic, The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, and Harper's
Magazine, among others. A collection of her poems, Wideawake Field,
was published by FSG in 2007.
