In The Shi?is in Palestine Yaron Friedman offers a survey of the presence of Shi?ism in the region of Palestine (today: Israel) from early Islamic history until the contemporary period. It brings to light many pieces of information and interesting developments that are not widely known, in addition to the general point that, contrary to common belief, the Shi?i community has played a significant role in the history of Palestine. The volume includes a study of Shi?i shrines in Palestine, as well as showing the importance of these Muslim sites and holy towns in Palestine in the Shi?i religion.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"This volume is a welcome contribution to the study of two still relatively neglected areas of scholarship: Shi?ism and the history of Palestine. The detail is so rich that the reader is left almost wishing the book were longer. It can only be hoped that others will use this work as a starting point for many more studies related to the Shi?i's in Palestine." Fuchsia Hart, University of Oxford, inJournal of Shi?a Islamic Studies 11 (2018): 117-120
"The Shi?is in Palestine broadens the historical study of Shi?ism and Shi?i Muslim communities in the Middle East and the Levant, much of which has focused on the large Shi?i communities in modern-day southern Lebanon, Iraq and Iran. Friedman draws upon a wide collection of Muslim historical and theological writings, including materials produced by Ibn ?Arabi, al-Ghazali and Ibn Taymiyya. In addition to adding to the historiographical literature, the book also serves as a useful addition to the ethnographic literature on Islamic art and architecture and Palestinian folklore. It will be of interest to scholars and students of Islamic studies, Middle Eastern history, Palestinian studies and Shi?i studies."
