Palestine is often characterised, from afar, as being plagued by
insurmountable difference and violent conflict along religious and
ethnic lines. Julia Droeber looks beyond this, as she draws out the
way in which sameness and difference is constructed and dealt with
in the day to day relationships and practices of different
religious communities in the West Bank town of Nablus. She follows
the reality of coexistence and the constant negotiation of
boundaries between Christians, Muslims and one of the last
remaining Samaritan communities worldwide, and how these
relationships are complicated by an occupier perceived as 'Jewish'.
This is a sensitive and nuanced study of cultural and religious
space in a much-contested region. It illustrates how differences
are reconciled, accommodated and emphasised, while existing
alongside a common sense of belonging. Droeber's findings resonate
beyond the town of Nablus, and the West Bank, and into the broader
fields of Middle East Studies, Anthropology, Comparative Religion
and Peace and Conflict Resolution Studies.
