Editorial ReviewDue to its connections to the Abrahamic faiths, the "Holy Land" has often been explored within the context of inter-religious relations. Julia Droeber takes this approach as a starting point in her work on relations between religious communities in Nablus, Palestine. - This book achieves several objectives. It provides a comprehensive overview of religious minority communities in the setting of Nablus. Its discussion of the Samaritan community is particularly welcome given the absence of material on this group. While the strength of the anthropological study is the insight into the different discourses from and about the communities, the discussion is also related to theoretical debates regarding identity construction, group boundaries, and majority-minority interaction, thus making a significant contribution to literature on group relations in the region. It will be required reading for those working on minority communities in Israel-Palestine and also extremely helpful for those working on minorities in Muslim-majority environments elsewhere. - Whilst working within the discipline of anthropology, [this book] also has an interdisciplinary nature and [will] be of interest to those working in political science, contemporary religion and Middle Eastern Studies.' Dr Fiona McCallum, Lecturer in International Relations, University of St Andrews, Scotland
