Christians In Palestine

"Christians is the stirring account of French journalist Jean Rolin's stay with the Christian minority in Bethlehem, Jerusalem, and Gaza in 2002 and 2003. Every scene in this beautifully written narrative-in the Nativity Church, around Arafat's completely devastated headquarters, in Ramallah, with that ghostly wall that "starts and finishes in the middle of ruins"-provides a previously unseen glimpse into the lives of the Christian minority, trapped between the dominant Islamic and Jewish populations. Jean Rolin's journalism has won many awards in France, including the Albert Londres Prize and the Prix Medicis. "Christians is his first book to be translated into English. Marjolijn de Jager has won several awards for translations of both poetry and fiction.
